NYSSWA State Rankings 2020 - Week 10

 

The tenth state rankings for the 2020 the season have been released by the NYSSWA.  Below are the WNY teams that made the cut:

 

Class AA

Niagara Falls #26

 

Class A

Park #5

Health Sciences #6

Canisius #9

St. Joe's #16 

 

Class B

Timon #13

Allegany-Limestone #14

Fredonia #17

 

Class C

Randolph #2

Middle College #6 

Tapestry #10

Westfield #15

 

Class D

Panama #9

 

According to the rankings...

 

- While Niagara Falls has inched back closer to the Top 25 in NYS Class AA, holding down the magical #26 spot this week, ECIC I champion Jamestown still isn't even mentioned with honor among the small cluster of teams just outside the ranked 30.  And they should be.  So here's my plug - the team I picked to win ECIC I & Class AA back in November has won 10 of its last 11 games, and the loss came in an 11 am game after a two-hour bus ride.

 

- After heavy sanctions were placed on them for losing games in Florida, Albany Academy is finally ranked #1 in NYS Class A.  

 

- The Health Sciences loss by one-point at the buzzer to Park cost them the Class A regional.  Rochester East sits top spots ahead of Health now at #4 in NYS Class A and is the projected state final four rep from the Far West Region.  Rochester East is one of the six losses on Park's record, having defeated the Pioneers in OT on January 18th.

 

- Canisius is #9 in NYS Class A and remains the highest ranked team from the CHSAA, which has them winning a catholic state title.

 

- The same scenario applies for Timon, ranked #13 in NYS Class B and the projected to win a state title.

 

- Allegany-Limestone remains the highest ranked team in NYS Class B from the Far west Region, which has the Gators in line for a trip to Glens Falls.

 

- Randolph is ready for a state championship game in NYS Class C.  The Cardinals have now made it all the way up to #2 in NYS Class C.  They are now eight spots ahead of Tapestry in the state.  The Thunderhawks, who are ranked #10 in the state, visit Randolph tonight.

What a week. First the Park debacle. That situation if true is a huge black eye for the Park School, good luck bringing kids in when you tell them they have no post season to play in.

Second Randolph who many have questioned if they are legit blow Tapestry out by 20 points. A team Health Sciences struggled with twice.Them and Middle Early will be a great battle.

Third and maybe the biggest news. Niagara Falls goes into today's huge game losing its 6th player of the year. 4 have quit. two were academic casualties. One i believe has been let back on the team in time for playoffs. But the biggest loss comes as Sanders quit a possible All WNY selection.Falls is dressing 6 varsity guys and brought up maybe 4 JV kids to fill there roster( a shame considering they are the largest school inn section 6). The future does not look bright as the falls JV had its first losing season in the history of the new NFHS. Bring Constantino back please!!!!

Timon at #13 maybe the surprise team of the year and will bring there big three back next year. Great job by Coach Rowe.

Bring Sal back? After not winning the league and needing an all time performance from Lightfoot to squeak past North with all that talent? You do remember Sal quit right? Falls trolls are outrageous on this board. Colangelo got run out and Sal quit. New coach takes over what are clearly some difficult dynamics over there after 2 future NBA kids and another who will probably play in the MAAC have left the program in the last 2 years. Parents and culture there are beyond what 90% of coaches deal with just ask Sal!
