Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Holiday.
There was plenty of action for Girls Basketball around the area this past week but a lot more action coming in the next week with plenty of Tournaments going on in the area featuring some of the best Girl Basketball teams in the area.
I am going to keep this week short and simple. Some teams still have not been tested seriously while some teams like Brennan and Wagner have played some of the toughest competition around. You can argue that every team they have played is an above average contender in the whole scheme of things. Well, you can argue, but its true. Reagan has played at least 7 games against worthy opponents as well.
Madison, Steele and Johnson are not too far behind in their strength of schedules.
So now we get to the point of teams schedules where Team A beat Team B which beat Team C which beat Team A. Who is the better team?

The good thing about High School Rankings is that they don't determine the eventual Champions. A committee doesn't decide who is the best. In the end, High School basketball playoffs determine eventually who is playing the best in a single elimination format. Again, what is the Coaches stragedy to get their teams as well prepared for that scenario, Playing the tougher schedule or a lighter schedule.
