The SCHSSCA Preseason Rankings are taken seriously and this year we had more input from prep coaches than ever before - maybe that is why they resemble the 2009 Final Rankings moreso than other seasons. Is that wrong? I don't think so. It is hard for a coach to project his/her own team much less others in the region, area, or around the state.
However, with the influence of the Massey Ratings, the general knowledge of top players and programs from around the Palmetto State, etc., then the "preseason" tallies usually don't differ too much from the "final" rankings. We'll see once again this spring.
Good luck!
