Dayton will be making a comeback this year an into the future.

LOL

I have to go to Ft Worth tomorrow. I think I may swing by on the way home to watch.

Belville struggling with "scrubs". Want no part of Rusk.

And everyone bailed on #1 several weeks ago.

Rusk is about to be ranked "higher than CS".

Too bad for CS.

Has Rusk been winning "coin flips"?

Just like that, District Championship and 3 Rounds deep. Prophecy fulfilled.

Just beating the teams that are in the playoffs and in the bracket.

Kind of like when "every team that has Sabine Pass on the schedule will be looking for a game the week they were supposed to be playing Sabine Pass"?

Is there anything wrong with a "money grab" or "creating a launch pad for your son"?

2-8 or 1-9

Should be a good match between a "3 seed" and a "4 seed".

LOL

Hearing it will be from within.

Perhaps parents are pulling their kids out of public schools?

Any word on the locations?

However, if Jasper somehow could get a win on Tuesday it would definitely shake up the order.

I wouldn't disagree. I have seen a few "#1s" that are his equal but not many "#2s".

I think they just rank them on how good they think the team is. Example: Rusk are the District Champions despite the W/L record. All of the teams in the district that have better W/L records finished behind Rusk in the standings and are "in actuality" not as good of a team as Rusk. Also, the "rankers" believe that Rusk is likely to make a decent run in the playoffs despite their W/L record. They believe that "when it counts" (such as district) Rusk will be among the better teams.

I definitely expect the "Thursday" team to show up against JD on Tuesday. Will be interesting to see how they fare against Circle but he is no easy pass either.

Agreed on what Rusk "cares about". Now that Rusk is going to win the district we can definitely see why Rusk has been "ranked". There have been many throughout the year that have questioned "why Rusk was ranked" and that "Carthage, Hudson or Jasper deserved to be ranked but not Rusk". The rank voters knew all along that Rusk is a different team with/without JD Thompson. The district also understands this clearly now and that Rusk is the best team in the district.

Rusk is definitely better than Hudson. Looking like the "rankings" may have been accurate all along.

Rusk can "nearly" clinch a share of 1st with a win. We can assume they will win with JD pitching on Tuesday.
