Following Friday's 59-53 win at Washington, Peters Township left no doubt it deserves the No. 1 spot in the local boys basketball rankings. The game itself was well-played by both sides and I left with the impression Peters Township and Washington will make significant impacts in the postseason.
Boys rankings

2. Washington (AA) 9-2

Do you seriously think Carmichaels (boys) could beat Monessen? Have you looked at the two teams' schedule? Please!!!
ReplyDeleteRankings aren't always about who can beat who.
ReplyDeleteThey can reflect how well a team is playing at the moment and Monessen is coming off a 50-point loss to Uniontown.
Agreed, Mike. However, the reason Carmichaels is "playing well" is that they are playing nobody. The wins are over Beth-Center, Geibel, Mapletown, West Greene, Frazier and so on. Nice schedule. Monessen 4-6 and got destroyed by Uniontown. At the same time, the losses are to South Fayette, Jeannette, USC. Bethel and Canon-Mac. Winnig pct of team Monessen lost to 42-21. Greyhounds inconsistent. But are one of your coverage areas best five.
ReplyDeleteCharleroi at 8-2 in a much better team than Carmichaes as well.
ReplyDeleteCharleroi isnt really that good. I guess the area basketball must be down quite a bit.
