With that being said, it's tough for Fairland to drop after the loss to Hilliard Bradley.. Those who haven't traveled that direction any doesn't quite understand just how good that team is. They have two legitimate D1 players in Isaiah Speelman and Braden Norris, and potentially another in freshman Matt Allocco.

This was big time scheduling by Fairland and I give them major props for it. Perhaps the loss by 22 is what makes it look somewhat bad, but trust me, Fairland wouldn't see a team that stacked til the Division 3 State Final (if even there).
... I fully understand the WANT to keep Fairland in the #1 position ... I KNOW the talent on HB ... I KNOW the D1 in the Columbus area and what that entails being an opponent - Logan will see Hilliard Bradley here in Logan in February ... the 22 point loss seems to be about on the average point spread per outing between HB & ANY opponent ... I also feel that Fairland in order to NOT become complacent , to KEEP the youngsters grounded - a team such as HB had to be played ... I listened to the game - it WAS a game through one half - the overall talent (D1 talent - college level) was evident in the 3rd & 4th quarters for HB ... even for the best of the best to get better they have to run up against a team that by evaluating the film, teaching from the film will allow that already quality team to get to the next level - Fairland did that ... on the ranking side - I had to drop them a position ... I had other teams who "played up" as well that HAD to be dropped a position as well -Warren/Marietta/Waterford ... it ALL works out in the end - IF Fairland IS the king of the hill - they will get there by season's end ... same goes for Vinton County and the other 70 teams Below the Lancaster-Dixon Line ...

... I also get it when people on here say that IF Fairland isn't #1 these rankings aren't worth the napkins they're printed on ... all I can say is that we do the best we can with what we have and what we have "ain't" bad ...

I think that people forget pfloyds rankings are only on here for a couple hundred to see and maybe 20 or so to discuss. They are based on what he knows and they aren't broadcast all over the internet or newspapers as national rankings. So what if a team dropped a spot?

I have to give props to Fairland for scheduling OUTSIDE the SE district, when so many SE schools don't. I still think the Dragons have the best chance of any school in the SE district in any division of making the Final 4.

Great job as usual Pfloyd. One correction Ironton St. Joe is 5-5. The Flyers are down to 11 players JV and Varsity but hanging in there.

I wouldn't doubt it if PFloyds rankings are on DryErase Boards in Locker Rooms and Coach's Offices across SE OHIO...And To that I say why not??....Give those boys something Else to shoot for or Use as a "measuring" stick or Coaches to use as a "motivational" Tool....As long as the Boys all realize it is what it is. And besides it Gives us all something to Banty on about on these Cold Winter days....

Oh GREAT VisionQuest !!! if PHS gets blown out (which I don't see according to my Old Ouija Board) I have to buy trojandave, biggdowgg & the rest of the Portsmouth contingent dinner at The Ribber ! because Fairland is "PO'd" that I drop them to #2 !!! LOL ... in all seriousness I try my best to make the rankings as "real" as possible - I DON'T "just wing it" - I DO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY - all of the coaches/players & fans deserve a ranking that is "within the margin of error" ... not just for the Top 8 teams but for ALL of the teams Below the Lancaster-Dixon Line ...

... I will definitely be wearing purple Chieftain Fan - I have ALWAYS supported the kids who wear the purple & white ... I probably shouldn't make that a blanket statement for purple fans/coaches I DO have support from the majority of Logan coaches/players ... so to answer your question did I say that to stay on the good side of some posters - no, not at all ... I have always treated Logan teams the same as I do all other schools/teams - I try to be as positive as possible no matter which school/players/teams/coaches I post about ...
