After finishing week two there was very little by way of victories to change very much in the rankings. Teams
are still shaking out and trying to separate between the top of the Class and
the other strata. Injury and eligibility issues can take a contender right out
of the mix. With many more weeks, there are still many possible changes to come
in the rankings.
CLASS A
In Class A, it we feel that Canandaigua, Irondequoit and Penfield are clearly
better the rest of Class A at end of two weeks. We have added Fairport to the
list as the result of their wins over RH and Thomas last week, which clearly
distinguishes them within that group. The HM list of Thomas, Schroeder and
Rush-Henrietta are still so close that there is we simply kept them honorable
mentions this week.
This week Fairport plays both Canandaigua and Penn Yan which will give them
an opportunity to make a statement against two fine teams. Schroeder also
plays Penn Yan and has a game with Amherst (Buffalo) so they have an
opportunity to make a statement too. Canandaigua plays Corning East on Saturday
in game that will offer the winner more than bragging rights.
CLASS B
The Class B lists stays the same as week one with Geneva still the top of the
heap and with Aquinas and Victor in pursuit. Although Victor had a tough loss
to Penn Yan, they are still looking strong in comparison to Class B teams.
In what could foreshadow a tournament contest, Geneva and Aquinas play on Thursday.
Victor also play Aquinas (Monday) and could make things move if they win that
one.
CLASS C
The Class C rankings have only minor changes this week. Penn Yan remains the
dominant force, as they have been for over a decade. Livonia remains in the
number two slot. With a small (two goal) loss to Livonia and a strong win over
Batavia, Bath moves into the third spot. After another loss (this time to a
vary good team at Tully), Waterloo moves to 0-3 this season and to fourth
position in the rankings. We still feel that Waterloo is a threat in Class
C, however, they will have to come back as a team and recover from their roster
problems.
GAMES THIS WEEK
Vacation week 2008 is full of great competition as mentioned above. Other exciting
match ups include Thomas-Irondeqoit, Geneva-McQuaid Jesuit, Livonia-RH, Gates-RH and
Greece Lightning-BH.
The week-by-week list is available.
