It's not just your imagination, we really do face a very difficult league schedule. On the girls side, the latest state rankings show a total of NINE Monroe County teams listed.
Hilton (11), R-H (19), Thomas (21) and Fairport (22) are all ranked in Class AA (so Penfield must be close). Canandaigua (3), Mendon (7), Brighton (8) and Sutherland (10) are in the top 10 in Class A, and HF-L is ranked #2 in Class B, just behind East Aurora, and 9th overall (just ahead of Canandaigua in 10th).
So, our girls are actually 8-5 against teams that are not ranked in the state, and we can make that 9-5 today.
The boys have also faced some stiff league competition, as 8 teams are mentioned in last week's state rankings. R-H is 10th in Class AA, while Hilton is called out as one of the "teams to watch". In Class A, Mendon (6), Brighton (8), Irondequoit (11) and Sutherland (16) are all ranked. It's interesting that Mendon is ranked ahead of Brighton (on the strength of their performance at McQuaid), as I have Brighton as the slight favorite in their meet today. The HF-L boys are matching the girls with a #2 ranking in Class B. And how about this: despite a league record of just 8-11, Odyssey has a well-deserved 12th ranking in Class C.
