Of course, this is my personal rankings, just for fun.
Everything is only going to matter at the end when the most interesting and intriguing aspect of all this is if any team is going to be able to knock off Steele.
This is where I feel teams are right now after 1 week of action. It is still very young in the season and teams can drop in and out of my Top 10.
Reagan and OConnor making big jumps with their performances.
Honorable Mention: Madison(Dropping out of Top 10), Smithson Valley (Nice showing in Corpus Tourney), Churchill (Yet to play a top team) Southwest (Yet to play a top team)
10. Clark- Yes they got beat by the Top Team in the city, Steele, but remain unchanged.
9. Jay- It is hard to get a good feel for this team. I watched them play and it seems to me they are still looking for an identity. They lost to Wagner and Johnson.
8. Johnson- The lack of experienced Posts forced the coach to practically play all guards the whole game. Yet when I watched them play, they seemed out of rhythm with all that ball handling, speed and athleticism on the court. Had to come from behind to beat Jay.
7. Reagan- Makes a jump into the Top 10 by winning the Corpus Tournament. They also played tough against State 4A Ranked #1 Brennan
6.Stevens- Had a nice run in Northside Tourney coming within 4 points of
State 4A Ranked #1 Brennan. It is only get better as the season moves on.
5. Wagner- Had a good showing in the Northside Tourney. You can never count this team out against anyone. They beat Stevens, Jay. Losses to OConnor and Stevens
4. OConnor- No matter they lost to Judson and Brennan, they beat a team that many thought were way better than them. When you beat teams you are supposed to beat is one thing, when you beat teams and surprise many, then you accomplish a lot.
3. Judson- Had a win against OConnor and had a nice run in Temple Tournament. Do they have enough shooters to beat the top two teams.
2. Brandeis- Inside game is strong offensively and defensively. Guards have the capability to drive and shoot beyond the arc. Had a real good run in Temple losing by 1 for their only loss. Team is still growing.
1. Steele- Had 1 game against Clark which they won handily. They have a showdown with Class 4A #1 Ranked Brennan on Tuesday.
Games to watch: Tuesday 11-12-2013
