The D3 Bowling Green Regional is bonkers! At least the #2, 4, 5, 6, and 13 teams in the state there. Our regional is pretty strong, but that one is ridiculous.

Southeast Ohio is represented very well,
Congrats to all..

Explain to me how Minford and Oak Hill have identical records, and Minford beat the Oaks twice head to head and are not infront of the Oaks let alone in the polls all together.

1, Cin. Summit Country Day (11) 21-2 168

This is obviously a typo somewhere, 23 games?

Yep, I looked it up. They are 21-1. That would have been something to explain if some AD/coach screwed that up though...lol

Ya, I guess when your reigning state champ you can do what you want

It is :aaaaa16 ----POLOTICS!!!!

Doesn't make since how there above them. Must just be the Norm factor . But that's a great question .

I hope no one actually cares about the AP poll since the voters take care of their local coaches and screw up records as well.

I'm glad Oak Hill is 10th and not Minford, lol. Waverly beat Oak Hill at Waverly and went to the wire with them at Oak Hill.

It doesnt matter about Oak Hill. I am glad they are there vs another team from Northern Ohio or the Cincy area. Its just a popularity contest. It sure wont help them make a run in the tournament. I said before they have no inside game and will not make it long in the tourney.
