Preseason State Rankings out

yes sir! It also starts a 3day weekend for me so I can't wait.

That does indeed sound like a great weekend!

Don’t forget about the Forest Hills Festival. New pavilions erected, new dance stage (I think what that is), and a whole lot of chit chat about the G&G at the picnic tables.
Can’t wait.
IMO FH/Tyrone are about where they should be to start the season. Tyrone has more coming back, Forest Hills got hammered to end the season.
D6 hasn’t/won’t get any top 5 rankings until another team from AA makes it past the WPIAL.

I know such a list is difficult in A because of the size of the schools and their depth, but Others list for A is ludicrous. Sto-Rox gets a free pass into the Top 10 without any substantive play or talent due to their inclusion in District 7. Are the top teams in the WPIAL that good? Yes, Clairton and Rochester are heads above the rest of PIAA A, but Sto-Rox is not in this class. I can name four teams in the ICC that can can handle the "Others" list very well, not including BA, so that makes five.

You obviously didn't want the Sto Rox- Rochester game. Rochester needed a TD inside a minute left to win 35-32. Plus the Vikings are absolutely loaded with D1A talent starting with DeSean Rippy and Marzett Garrett. If anything I'd argue that the Rams are a little overrated this year. I Fort Cherry, Sto Rox, and Springdale are as good or better than Rochester this season.
