Philtenn, you must be a newbie to HS varsity sports, is this your daughters and her friends first year playing HS basketball? I would advise new parents not to be so self-serving and be patient, if their kids can play they'll get their press coverage and recognition. 'Rome wasn't built in a day'.
Freshmen and underclassmen playing varsity and contributing is great but not worth getting upset because they don't make the local newspaper, patience is a virtue.
Any serious coach or player knows that rankings are worth about as much as the paper they are written on. Do the USC Trojans coaches and players think because they are ranked #1 and that Texas is ranked #2 means they are going to win. Put less emphasis on rankings and press coverage and more on how the team performs, being ranked in the local paper won't make your daughters team or her friends team play any better, if anything it adds more unwanted pressure.
Remeber rankings are just that, a ranking. The teams that focus on getting to Nashville or Murfreesboro in March will have the only ranking that really matters, State Champion.
I don't receive the Memphis paper, thanks for the listing though.
