Cool, thanks. I find this interesting.
December 22nd, 2009 at 5:00 PM ^
... and yeah, it might even be a little funny, but it's also sort of, you know, childish.
December 22nd, 2009 at 5:02 PM ^
No, it was completely childish. I'm done now. Point made I guess. Oh, and likely more negs.

Weren't you the one who complained about unnecessary posts a couple of threads ago?

Looking through that list, I was surprised at how many games some teams from Texas play. At least 2 schools played 17 games last season, including playoffs. I'm trying to remember how many games we played in high school (here in Michigan), and I think it was 13 (we fell one game short of the championship). 17 seems crazy for HS though.

I noticed Cardinal Mooney (Youngstown, Ohio) ranked #20
Michigan happens to have a verbal commit from their best all around player.

what i find interesting about the 4 teams listed is the lack of senior D1 talent they have. I can only think of a few who are getting real looks from top D1 teams, Voss (EGR) Davis Jr. (Stevenson - Iowa verbal) Kinville (CC) and Palazeti (CC). Very strange when looking at these teams to say, Pahokee High and their what, 9 D1 guys.
(oh yeah, i'm missing the OL from Lowell, Kruss?)
Am I missing anybody else?

Pahokee is a strange case. Tons of D-1 talent, but they finished 6-5. They may have the talent to contend as a top team...but the results weren't there.

with fracassa from sterling heights stevenson. (in a losing effort at the title game at ford field)
December 22nd, 2009 at 6:10 PM ^
I see that a certain special team from Pahokee, Fl is missing
December 22nd, 2009 at 6:14 PM ^
Also the team that Devin Gardner plays for is missing. Unfortunate.
December 22nd, 2009 at 6:42 PM ^
Inkster is missing because of an unfortunate series of breaks for D Gardner. Not really surprised by that but as you said it still is unfortunate.

Hell yeah!!! At least one of the Hilliard schools can put together a good football team! Darby couldnt.
