31

You know how you usually have to take the state rankings with a grain of salt? Well, the latest rankings should be taken with a whole salt mine.

It’s impossible to get an accurate measure of anyone while the playoffs are going on. As soon as a team gets beat once, their season is over and they look silly on a list of the state’s best. That’s the case for seven of the 10 Section 1 teams listed here. Fishkill, Bronxville, and North Salem are the only ones still standing.

With state playoffs getting closer, the rankings could be useful for getting a sense of who your local team could be playing next if it wins the section. For reference, all four classes face Section 9 in the first round of states.
