When you think about rankings for the 5-AAAA teams (Dutch Fork, Lexington, N. Augusta, Aiken, and Irmo have all been mentioned in this thread), remember that there are eight teams in the region so they will each have 14 region games and only two non-region, regular season games. That means it will be difficult to have more than a couple of these teams ranked very highly because they will all be beating each other up. The five teams listed above will have at least 20 region losses spread among themselves.
The concept of strong teams in a region beating themselves up is certainly not limited to region 5-AAAA, but it will be interesting to see how this one turns out with five teams that are being seen as potentially "ranked" teams.
