I have seen both Manchester and Hillsdale play (DIII), and Hillsdale would be ahead of Manchester, in my opinion. I would probably have Hillsdale a top 8 team and Manchester around 10-14.

They need to rename this poll from the AP Poll to the BS Poll, cause that is exactly what it is.

OrrQB, I agree with most of your posts, but I'll have to disagree with this one. For such a large state, I think that state polls give a good representation of the teams state-wide. Sure the top team doesn't always win the tournament, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve some recognition. I know it really meant a lot to us my senior year, although we didn't win the tournament, we felt as if our ranking was deserved.

Seen Manchester twice and I agree with pit, they are definitely rated way to high, Hillsdale should be ahead of them and so should most below them such as Garaway who I saw beat a very good Hiland team. Manchester seems to get votes in the polls but isn't worthy of the ranking this year.

Mr. Russell, absolutely it's a great honor to be ranked and recognized for your teams success and I agree with you for that point....I just think they use blinders sometimes and overlook teams, but hey we all make mistakes lol. I just think overall when it comes tourny time you can throw the AP Poll out the window, because when it comes down to it, being ranked won't win you a trophy on the court/field.

I was All-Ohio my senior year in football, and yes it is a great honor, but do we need 3 different teams AND honorable mention AND special mention too? Why not let everyone be all-ohio?

We're very familiar with that. :(

Manchester has a tremendous senior class that has been successful at every level. Don't mind where they are ranked. Let's see how they do against Timken and then make a judgement. Hillsdale is very comparable, the success this senior class has had is not something i would take lightly. Senoirs are who lead team sports most of the time got to love these teams chances to keep succeeding from here on out.

I'll agree with that OrrQb. My dad always says, back in my day when I was All-Ohio, we only had three classes and three teams haha. It is indeed watered down now.

not that the kids are playing, but that Freshman class is legit!! My kid played against them a couple years back and I was amazed.

I am assuming that some of them are on JV if not varsity.

They sent a couple kids to MAC schools after winning the state title last year.

D3 #5 Oak Hill dropped 2 straight over the weekend. They lost to Lucasville Valley and the Fairland Dragons dropping their record to 8-2.

They are way overrated. All they do is shoot the 3. If that isn't falling for them its gonna be a long night for them. I don't think that they had seen defense like Zanesville played before either. If they are gonna repeat as state champs, they have a lot of work.

As the early polls were releases I said (2) teams were vastly overrated. At the time Jackson was #1 Div I and Carrollton was #2 in Div II. I said Jackson wouldnt make the top ten and Carrollton would fail to make the regionals.
