Happy Valentine's Day to all of the women who visit the RC from both Flounder and I.........this will be our last poll of the year (now, no crying) as we bring the "Flounder & Rocketman's" girls high school rankings to the close of our 7th glorious year together.........with our poll champs being crowned today we would welcome all of the coaches to the Varsity Club on Thurs. March 6th to be honored with their plaques..........it will take place in the very cozy basement confines and should tip off around 8pm..........if the teams playing at this time would like to send a representative that would be quite all right by us.......

For the first time in memory, all 4 of my pre-season picks ended the season on top..........a rare feat no doubt .......and it wouldn't surprise me one iota if they all swept the hardware come tourney weekend....a great big thanks goes out to Flound who keeps my spirits up through the long, cold winter with the tantalizing thought of enjoying another tournament weekend watching some of the country's finest talent showcasing their skills on the floor at the Schott.........

not much changed in my statewide rankings unless you count the fact that Circleville finishes as my #3 and is left out in the cold in the AP's final straw poll............they will be one tough out mark my words..........even NW Ohio didn't see much movement the last few weeks as the cream, as they say, always rises to the top..........and in this case there's a lot of Cool Whip on hand.........again, thanks to everyone who follows our poll and we wish you well until we meet again.........zoooom

to view Flounder's rankings later today........
