Boys: Top 10 for small schools to come

September
30

Last week when I released my initial Top 10 a few people asked for some recognition for the small schools. It’s a good idea, since they would be hard pressed to crack the overall Top 10. No amount of 6-0 wins over Pawling is going to leapfrog a Class B or C school into there. Not in my mind anyway.

Small schools should get their own power rankings. I’ll release that tomorrow or Wednesday. That’ll fill in the time gap while we wait for the action to kick up again after Rosh Hashanah.

The only thing I’m debating is how to define “small school.” Is it only Class B and C? That would exclude Rye, for example. Rye is one of the smallest Class A schools and so wouldn’t qualify, and also just missed the cut for the overall Top 10. It shouldn’t get caught in between like that. So do I make it everyone but Class AA? That would include schools like Harrison that aren’t exactly tiny.

Which would you like to see? Or give me another suggestion for how to define “small schools.”

    make it less then 900 kids or 875

  2. Steve

    Just class B and C since Class A schools such as Byrum are already in the top ten overall, plus it would knock out some of the worth schools in the smaller classes for these rankings

  3. dan

    how about the smaller A schools that weren’t included in the initial rankings?

  4. soccermom

    Jake and Jeff,

    Any idea when/where playoffs might be?

  5. Ted

    when they did them for basketball they just used B/C schools

  6. fan

    I would just make a top 5 ranking for each class, so fans can get handle on who is contending for section titles.

  7. larry

    a small A school is still not a small school
