MY VOTE NOTES

In Class 6, my votes were about the same as last week because Rockhurst lost to Bentonville, Ark. I voted for Parkway South instead of Ray-Pec at No. 10.

Class 5, I'm still voting Lee's Summit West No. 1 over Kirkwood and I didn't drop Staley as far (No. 4 in my poll).

Class 4, Savannah's win over Harrisonville put them No. 4 in my book. I kept Sikeston at No. 9 but the Bulldogs got bumped up because there's so many teams between Nos. 7-17 and Bolivar tumbled to No. 10 after a loss (no vote from me).

Class 3, I moved Ste. Genevieve up to 7 but the top 5 are set in my book. I voted for Logan-Rogersville at 10 because they lost by only 2 and their first loss was at a Mountain Grove team that's gaining momentum in Class 2. I didn't vote for Potosi.

Class 2, I'm the moron who voted Lamar No. 1 after the Tigers lost 13-6 at home to Seneca. Not sure what I was thinking, maybe forgot to move them before sending off my ballot or a 7-point loss in the rain shouldn't be that bad. I'm torn between MV-Liberty and Maplewood-RH at No. 1 but like M-RH with former Poplar Bluff assistant coach Rich Nixon as coach this year. I had Caruthersville still at 8.

Class 1, I kept Valle at 2 but added West Platte at 6 after beating Wellington-Napoleon. Rest of it is about the same.

Slight error. Sikeston's points against is 14, not 17. Just FYI

Good thing I don't work for NASA.
Are you all going to post this seasons individual stats like you have done in years past? Just wondering.

Brian Rosener
I believe so, but not my department.
Why isn't Perryville listed in SEMO CONFERENCE ...and they do have 2 wins (not 1)....this was posted at 5:46 ....they won this afternoon!

Perryville is not a SEMO Conference team. The standings have been updated.
I don't think Perryville is in SEMO Conference. They are in the Mineral Area Conference (or something like that).

Brian, would you consider publishing how you personally voted in each class when you publish the state rankings each week like Rus Baer does? Just curious.

I did in the preseason poll. Last week not much changed. Didn't have time this week with the holiday to put together notes, but I will in the future.
yea, i'd love an explanation of why potosi got votes for beating up on the power house confluence and barely beating the almighty pacific.... please don't tell me you voted for them.

-- Posted by Perrywinkle on Wed, Sep 5, 2012, at 3:29 PM
I'd like one too. By any statistical measure there's a couple Class 3 teams I can cite off my head that are better than Potosi.
