The eleventh state rankings of the season have been released by the NYSSWA. Below are the WNY teams that made the cut:
Class AA
Jamestown #22
Class A
Canisius #5
McKinley #7
Amherst #12
Williamsville South #16
Class B
Park #9
Fredonia #11
Cleveland Hill #24
Class C
Middle College #5
Silver Creek #6
Tapestry #11
Class D
Sherman #2
I-Prep #11
** According to the rankings...
- Webster Schroeder is #18 in Class AA. Jamestown is #22 and Rush-Henrietta is #23. Jamestown is better than Webster Schroeder and Jamestown lost to Rush-Henrietta by 14 points. Shhhh, don't tell anyone.
- Scotia & Greece Athena will give us a NYSPHAA Class A state championship game featuring a pair of undefeated teams.
- Canisius will win the state championship in the CHSAA Class A.
- Amherst (#12 in Class A) is almost back to where they were ranked (#11) prior to the loss in Jamestown. My point, not much has happened to justify the recent climb, and the Jamestown loss didn't warrant such a drop. They've been #11/#12 all along.
- Williamsville South dropped six spots, from #10 to #16 in Class A for falling at home to Starpoint.
- For the first time all season, Cleveland Hill has made the cut in Class B.
- Park fell four spots, from #5 to #9 for losing at Canisius. Alright, let's put some thought into this. Is a Class B team losing at Canisius (ranked #5 in the state in Class A) really a punishable offense in the rankings? The answer is obviously no. I swear they'd drop Sherman to #10 in the Class D rankings for losing at Kentucky.
- Last week I wrote "Fredonia is up three spots in Class B, from #14 to #11 for winning at St. Mary's. After the recent wins over Olean & East, they should continue to ascend". This week, I'm saying "Hello? Did anyone notice the double-digit win for the Hillbillies over Olean? Or that the next night, with some clowns calling for a let down, they routed East"? Fredonia remains ranked #11.
- Tapestry fell three spots, from #8 to #11 in Class C for the loss to Health Sciences. The only thing winning in Salamanca later in the week did for Tapestry was get the Warriors dropped from the rankings.
- I-Prep dropped only one spot, from #10 to #11 for a 15-point loss to DaVinci. I guess the state view's those first eight wins in program history for DaVinci quite favorably.
