How has Gallatin not made it in? They’ve beaten a soon to be top 10 6a program and Hillsboro who was also in the top 5 in 5a earlier this season. Instead this poll wreaks of overrated Knox teams.

It’s ok.  Just keep feeding us fuel to get better.  Sure it would be nice to see someone notice the hard work these kids have put in but as many have said, we play a tournament sport.

Yeah - Gallatin is absolutely up there and in my mind very high.  Crazy polls

The Knoxville schools still have to play each other and Gallatin has to play Beech. If they keep winning, they'll have a high ranking

 I just feel these polls are a good comical read. Gallatin would probably be top 10 ranked right now in 6A, yet isnt cracking top 10 in 5A. Hmm.

5A is also deeper than 6A is, IMO. In 5A there is probably close to a dozen teams making a run for the gold ball. In 6A, it's narrowed down to Maryville, Oakland, Whitehaven and Ravenwood/Brentwood. I wish they'd make each ballot public to see who is truly just a homer for their area and who takes the responsibility seriously

Worth mentioning that of the 18 voters, only 5 of which are from East TN

I think Independence should be considered in 6A.

I think I'm right on this, you get 10 points for a 1st place vote, 9 points for 2nd, and so on to 1 point for 10th.  As an example, Knox Central got 16 1st place votes for 160 points, so they got 2 2nd place votes for 18 to get their 178.  Gallatin got 1 1st place vote, so 10 of their 31 points came from that one voter, while the other 21 came from the remaining 17 voters.  It's interesting that one voter has them the best in 5A, while most of the others have then way down the line.

Cal preps has Gallatin ranked 2nd in the state in 5a which is where they should be ranked this year - top 3 for sure
