Columbia is AAA

I agree but I don't think Antioch or Stratford will be ranked that high. I'd put Stratford at 8 and Antioch at 4 or 5.

The team everyone is sleeping on is Glencliff they had some young talent last year and I hear the are getting some good transfers for next year,and if Jamont Gordan keeps his grades up he is going to be a beast so watch out for them next year.McGavack will probably come out #1 next year Mapalwood or Glencliff 2nd if they can get all their players together.

 

1.McGavack

2.Mapelwood or Glencliff

4.Whites Creek

5.Statford

6.Hillsboro

7.Riverdale

8.Antioch

9.Brentwood

10.Hunters Lane

You have to put Oakland somewhere in your list. They made the sweet 16 last year and will have a stronger team this year.

If you have Brentwood in the top 10 and leave a team out like Father Ryan, you have a problem. From what I have heard this summer, Father Ryan beat Hunters Lane (2x), Hillsboro, Stratford and several others. They have a great core of seniors coming up led by Everett Bills and Brent Carney, who by the way, are great scorers. A tall post about 6'6 can block shots and score. Another short post about 6'1-2 can rebound and score as well. The point guard can flat out shoot the pill at 6'0. The 2 guard is the best defender I have seen in my 17 years of watching high school basketball. He's about 6'0 and plays really tough. These 6 are a dime a dozen and can play and beat anybody in the state. To be ranked 7th in the midstate alone is ludicrous. They will be back at state. You can say DII all you want but this team was great last year and if they want to, can be even better.

I never judge summer league games because each team has football players who usually don't show up for summer league. Hillsboro for example, they never had their whole team their for one game, they have about 3 starters that missed most of summer league due to football and injury. Father Ryan didn't beat Stratford either, Stratford came one day and that one day that they came they played Antioch and Hillsboro. I'm just saying that you cant judge summer games because teams never have their full team do to summer school, camps, and other sports. But I do think Father Ryan should be in the top ten. I would definitely put them in my top ten.

Father Ryan beat Stratford at the Belmont Camp this year. I only state facts, I respect that you agree with my knowledge.

If you put Riverdale or Oakland in the list anywhere, then Lebanon should be one higher than any of the two.

I dont know what to say.

sorry to step on your toes but none of the aaa teams that father ryan played had all of there squad and dont get me wrong they are good but with billy may gone if ryan played stratford, hunterslane,maplewood, mcgavock,hillsboro, or antiock,glencliff day in and day out they may not even have a 500 season but thats just my opponion. you need to listen to domonique 2002 he seems to know what he's talking about.

Do you think Father Ryan wants to play the private schools? Heavens no! Before the split, Father Ryan and MBA were in your district. Sorry to step on your toes, but if public schools were not crying about private schools giving people a better education, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. Father Ryan had Whites Creek, Brentwood, among others turn them down, due to fear of losing. McGavock stepped up and scheduled 2 games with Father Ryan. If you want to say football players weren't there, then Father Ryan didn't have some players due to football so... it goes both ways. If your man enough, convince your coach to play Father Ryan or if you are a coach call Coach Doug Bontrager and schedule a game.
