"Real" Rankings

I remember being excited every week to grab the local newspaper so I could see the new AP Poll that determined who the top teams in the state were. But now, with the Internet, we have people doing different rankings all over the place. Do they still do AP Polls? Even when different rankings started coming out, I still felt like the AP was the true ranking. I know we have Simmons, who does fantastic work, and out of state rankings such as Massey, Max Preps, Cal Preps, and others. Which one of the many do YOU like to use to determine the top 10? Or is using RPI the the best method?

They might be 3-0 coming into our game. They got some Science and Math school this week. They get past the Annexation of Puerto Rico play and we might be in for it.

Side note: I am actually very happy for those kids. They have taken some beatings and I cannot imagine how much the moral at that school is up with 2 straight wins. Good for them!
It is great to see and happy for them as well. Took some beatings over the years and finally enjoying some success.

It’s going to be much harder for Mt. Island Charter to pluck athletes. Those guys have changed to a true lottery system without exceptions for any athletes. Mt. Island Charter football is already in decline because of that change. That change will definitely benefit EG. Mountain Island coaches were not happy with that change. MIC may look more like Highland Tech in the future when it comes to sports.
Yeesh.

Especially if this game was an extra home game to recoup money.
That was my original point. All I ever heard was that we crapped on Gaffney because we were broke and needed another home game. I guess that wasn’t entirely the truth.

But we have never got the whole truth and nothing but the truth on Jabba the Hut gate or Gaffney.

It’s a great big SECRET!

With the growth of the charter school up there and as the younger grades move into high school, I believe East Gaston will be 2a in the new alignment. I think it won't be the first go round next school year ,but the next alignment it may happen.

Over the years, we have lost a bunch of kids to Lincoln and Mecklenburg counties. A few years ago, we did lose a running back from Stanley Middle, who started at Shelby (maybe the best RB in Gaston County).
