golfaddict1 Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 Interesting group of 10 schools here… not sure I’ve ever seen Freeman rate a MA school this high (Massey has them rated in the 300’s not including this past week’s update). @MA Fan what’s the 411 on this squad? STA boosted Jesuit up after the Cardinal Gibbons win, but STA is in quicksand .2 behind Jesuit and can’t pass them while Jesuit has been underperforming for some time. Same deal with DLS. They are stuck .2 behind St Francis. Never heard of Lipscomb Academy (rated 60 nationally)… they beat Etowah AL (rated 120 in AL currently) 70-10 this past weekend. Freeman digs Oakland TN and I noticed that school was their top opponent and rated quite highly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And doesn't look like they're going anywhere soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMaximumHornetSting Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 How is SM so high? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Kurkjian Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 Catholic Memorial is good. I've seen them this year. Skill players are all juniors. Three BC commits in that junior class. They're very good for up here. Nationally? Hard to say. But as Mass. teams go the Knights are the most deserving of any right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar with DLS, no matter how good they play, they can only lift St Francis so far and are blocked by them. I’m interested to see how Ken Massey’s ratings reflect this current week and will share. I don’t believe Massey follows the “.2 behind a team you lost too as long as that team is undefeated, no matter how poorly they play” rule.

golfaddict1 Posted October 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 CP’s state ratings (top 50 in state avg) NJ may not have a marquee team this year (edit, my bad I forgot BC was still undefeated), but they’ve got a nice mix of teams if you look down their top 10-15 in state. Indiana and Zona looking good. PA showing 8th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That have a great coaching staff (head coach is Trent Dilfer, yes that Trent Dilfer) and it is a wealthy private school that draws in the best recruits from the Nashville area and beyond.

IMO - STA being held back by Jesuit is much more egregious than DLS being held back by St Francis (sidebar note: The STA case is a pretty interesting one within the confines of the Calpreps rules universe - I'm guessing Jesuit stumbles somewhere, and it will be interesting to see what happens with STA when they do). Obviously I don't really know, but DLS, because of the confines of the Calpreps rules universe, might be close to about where they belong this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best team we have had in probably the past 4-5 years. Problem is Thompson is top 5 nationally. We are going to get beat by them Friday. Dang you must really hate me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well put (as always) and indeed if Jesuit loses, it will be interesting to see where STA lands. They’ve got Dillard this week. Hard to say how good Dillard is, but STA needs to reduce the penalties and not give up special teams gimmes. I’m looking fwd to watching more Cali games and of course will root for DLS. I enjoyed the CC vs Norco game last week on TV. CC needs to firm up their secondary, otherwise solid looking team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
