I find it strange that Melrose wins one game and all of a sudden are #10. But I guess that's one of the downfalls of any poll. It seems to me that far too often, there is one or two teams in every poll that gets ranked by their name and not how good they actually are.

Just a personal opinion about West Memphis. I never have liked them being included in the Dandy Dozen ratings. I know they are just across the river and just as much a part of Metro Memphis as teams in Tipton or Desoto counties, but they seem to be in another time zone. I guess it's because they almost never play any Memphis teams. CBHS went 3-2 against them in 5 games between 1983 and 1990. That's about it as far as I know.

Has anybody played a more difficult schedule than Melrose other than Olive Branch? NO. I dare say that most of the teams in the DD would also have gone 1-2 against those opponents. Give them credit for their schedule.

I understand your concern #### it doesnt make sense to me either.TV media (esp 5 )never fail to show clips of W.Mempo playing when they should be more tuned into area Memphis teams .

Owlbooster:

 

You would have thought by now that the West Memphis school would have established a relationship (home/home series) with at least one of the several good Memphis Area schools. West Memphis/CBHS ... West Memphis/MUS ... West Memphis/Melrose ... West Memphis/Mitchell ... West Memphis/Whitehaven .... West Memphis/Germantown ... the possibilities are endless. Maybe one of the Memphis schools will initiate something some time soon ... I'd love to see something like that arranged.

I'm not knocking their schedule. But would other teams be given the same credit for a tough schedule like that? I don't think it's likely. But again, this is just a poll.
