the Flounder & Rocketman's girls high school rankings have an early deadline this Sunday as I can see myself pretty pre-occupied come Sunday evening.........a bunch of us are heading over to Findlay's BW3's to enjoy the game and all that it embodies .........

this marks Week 12 of our poll and everything is starting to fall into place not unlike year's past.........the perennial powers continue to make their way back up the charts, while the early season pretenders see their hopes of a poll championship dashed......

Marion Harding goes to Pick Central and flames out in D1........Springboro loses a close one to 'Creek and drops a few rungs on the ladder.........in D2, Canfield stumbles a bit but I'll keep them in my rankings because of all the nice presents their booster club has showered on the Flound and I this season.......D3 remains pretty clean and the only change in D4 is the exchange of positions between Ottoville and DSJ...........tournaments will begin shortly so all of these rankings won't mean jacksquat ...........a few upsets will surely occur, but by and large, the best teams will continue down the tournament trail.........

and talking of the tourney trail .........the Flound and I will be in attendance during the girl's state tournament scheduled for Mar. 6-8 again this year.......the Varsity Club on Thursday will indeed be a special place to hang your hat as we will present our 6th annual poll championship trophies to the winning coaches in each division..........also, the RocketCorner is going to be partnering up to bring you these games via webcasts..........it looks to be another very competitive year and who knows what lies in store..........thanks also to everyone who continues to read and respond to our rankings...........zooooom
