Goff Rankings
With the cold-weather states getting going we will see a few more teams break into the HS Club Rankings. This week, a solid body of work gets Mississippi, KC Cougars, Kingswood, and Beaverton in. West Valley moves up one again thanks to another big result, this time beating United.
A relatively slow weekend as Easter put several teams on the sidelines. Several teams, such as Belmont HS, Union (Oregon), Capital and Mountain View out of Idaho, and Oklahoma's Bixby move in.
The Women’s DII College rankings were tough to follow this year. Either the heavy hitters in the Northeast and Midwest were being heavily hit by snow and ice, or the spring-based teams were suffering through forfeit/cancelation-ridden leagues (with some notable exceptions). But after a month’s hiatus, some good results have necessitated some movement in the Top 20.
Indiana won the Big Ten Universities qualifier tournament this weekend, and in fact it wasn't really all that close. IU is highly motivated to do well in 7s, and thumped Illinois - who had already beaten Michigan, our previously highest-ranked Big Ten team - in the final.
Two big moves occurred in the Women DI College Top 20, and they’re a reflection of the build-up to spring playoffs. Same thing happened in the fall, when post-season teams started peaking and idleness hurt certain teams’ standings.
