Seems year in and year out Silver Lake is ranked higher during the year than they ever finish at state. However this year they do seem legit. I agree that those in the NW regional will (once again) be hampered because they will be knocking each other off. Norton will be no.1 but I think the fight will be 2 through 5 With Silver Lake, St. Francis, Oakley, Oberlin, Hoxie, Phillipsburgh and Plainville all in the hunt. Interesting how many of the above mentioned teams are in the same regional.
