GRR: HS Rankings
In this week's HS Club rankings, the #1 team Granite Bay tied with Danville.
That isn't, in and of itself, a reason to drop a a team out of the #1 spot, but Belmont Shore's win over Jesuit and the Woodlands beating West Houston were also big events, so we've made some changes at the top.
As we keep saying, these are early days.
Early days mean that one result can make a massive difference, but it also means that some teams that are ranked highly now will drop down even if they don't play any more games. More results, especially against other successful opposition, will force those changes.
Some very, very good teams are drifting down a little bit because they're not playing.
Teams that are in action do get to move up, and we caution those teams that it will be very difficult to stay up unless they keep playing. That's just the way it goes.
We have a new #1 and a new #2 and, yes, part of that has to do with the fact that those teams are playing.
Could we see the Southern California HS clubs claw back up to the top? Sure we could. They will sort themselves out as their school-team league ends and the club league begins.
Same goes for the North Carolina clubs.
It was a quite slow week in HS club rugby, but we will see more games as February progresses.
Not a lot of changes, but Jacksonville and Elsie Allen join the Top 50. We don't see any of the results from the rest of the week enough to change rankings to any significant degree (or at all).
So we'll just wait a bit.
