I , like most hardwood fans, check the rankings once or twice a week, both Max Preps and the RPI rankings from the NCHSAA....Last week Asheboro was ranked seventh in the RPI ( Ridiculously Provocatively Insane poll ) . After losing to 2-A Randleman and a 1-A squad, Eastern Randolph, that was .500 ( 3-3 ) before beating Asheboro by sixteen last Friday , the Blue Comets have moved up to sixth in the NCHSAA, or RPI rankings. They have slipped from fourth in the Max Preps rankings from last week to twelfth this week, still way too high. If Asheboro keeps losing to 1-A and 2-A teams, they'll be ranked first in North Carolina.
