I was wondering when someone would come on here and throw this GC # 1 thing around. It's too bad this win-at-all-costs philosphy is now infecting school sports.


Amen. They can't even get the colleges right, why should anybody take any stock in a high school "ranking" unless there's an actual playoff system like the NCAAs. This is a phenomenon thats developed only in the past 10 years and its an absolute joke - on all of us. And, its bad for the kids too - they start believing it and either go into a game over confident or already mentally defeated because of this BS. Unfortunately the genie is out of the bottle on this one.
