I expect this discussion thread along with some others will really send some the teams from 11 to 26 or so into anyone's guess. ..........and that's alright.

I agree!
Hopefully coaches will look at scores/schedules. And then use common sense!

I too have been reading and researching and think the top 10 are the best 10 but not necessarily in the same order. Since we are just throwing out potential rankings out there here is how I see it and why:
1. SSA (really tough to split these top 4, only loss to Mt. Carmel)
2. Lafayette (Split w/Mt. Carmel in PK both times, only loss)
3. Dominican (nipped Mt. Carmel last game)
4. Mt. Carmel (Still could be 1)
5. St. Thomas More (Tough, close loses against top 4)
6. East Ascension (for winning toughest district in state)
7. Byrd (Best team in North)
8. Mandeville (beat Font 2x)
9. Fontainebleu (lost to Mandeville 2x)
10. Dutchtown (tough stretch of loses in Nov-Dec, finishing strong)
11. Northshore (Split with Font., lost to Mand. 2x)
12. West Monroe (undefeated in district, couple tough loses)
13. St. Joes (again, toughest district)
14. Terrebonne (has not lost a game in quite a while)
15. St. Amant (split with BR but finished ahead of them in district)
16. Hahnville (beat all the teams they should, close scores vs. BR & Northshore)
17. Zachary (lot of wins, but three lopsided loses to top teams)
18. Westgate (wins over WM & Neville, close losses to DT, EA, Zachary)
19. Natchitoches (tied, lost close to Byrd, only 2 other loses close to WM, beat top D2 teams)
20. Baton Rouge (tough group, close games)
21. Caddo Magnet (some loses late in season hurt)
22. Acadiana (appears record is 10-14-3, several lopsided loses)
23. Barbe (14-9, wins over good D2 teams)
24. Airline (hard to tell, lots of missing scores, 8-7 on what is there)
25. NISH (lot of close losses except to St. Tomas)
26. Live Oak (10-7-1, couple lopsided loses)
27. Destrahan (has a decent record)
28. Parkway (hard to tell with all the missing scores, except 11-0 to Byrd)
29. Comeaux (7-12-1, played some tough teams)
30. Central LaFourche (lot of missing scores but appears to only have 5 wins)
31. East St. John (only 7 games listed?)
32. Chapelle (Where is their schedule?)

Everyone has seen the results and polls so I'm going to give a little background information on my team (West Monroe). We are playing with 8 returning starters from last year's QuarterFinal team. We have 5 seniors that have been starting for us since their freshmen year. Over that time we have been seeded 10,9, and 8 for the playoffs with Quarterfinal appearances the last 2 seasons. (seeded 8 last yr and 9 the previous). We struggled early in the season with injuries to key players but have recently gotten back to full strength. Hoping the previous playoff experience will make a difference and help us earn another opportunity to play for a spot in the semi-finals.
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!

I just think we as coach or voters sometimes over look some teams records or just don't even take time to look. Westgate High has played against some of top team and those games has been a close games. Terrebonne has only play few scrimmaging games and the reste of their games are district. I love you Terrebonne but I'm just trying to make it point. I think Westgate deserves a better seeding than that. I think we deserve to be on the top 15. The Game against Zachary was a bad day. I don't have all my players because of religion and let not even talk about the weather. I love you too Zachary.
I just want you to reconsider your vote and take to consideration the percentage of how many games and tournament the team has play and who that team has play agaisnt.......love you all and good luck for everyone.

lowfarpost- Your information is inaccurate. First of all, on your #8 and #9 seeds, it was Fontainebleau that beat Mandeville twice. As for your #6 seed, do you really think that East Ascension plays in the toughest district in the state? How many ranked teams are coming from that district? District 6-1 has four, and three are in the top ten, with one being close behind at #11.

When coaches seed, I hope that strength of schedule and play during back half of season are given the proper weight.
Terrebonne in the posted seeds at #14 has only played 3 teams in the top 32. And, only one of those is in the top 20.
Zachary seeded above #16 has played 7 top 26 teams. Only losses are to top 13 teams. 4 wins and 1 draw to teams 14 - 26.
Additionally, SJAdad in earlier post notes St. Joe slammed Zachary in the first match of the season, but doesn't mention that Zachary, at that game didn't have 5 of their current starting 11.
Who you play and when does matter. How did a team finish?

mydove- you beat me to the punch.probably an oversight (Font./Mandeville games) on this persons part. I think EA distrrict is one of the most BALANCED from top to bottom, but not the toughest. EA could make some waves but these teams outside of district against the top 7 did not do as well as others.

Agreed guys, EA district not as tough as Northshore - does not compare, and is evident in top 10 rankings. I do believe Dist 5 depth is impressive. Our 5th placed team is super solid and I'd humbly guess that not many district could claim similarly.
Good luck, good health to all as we enter playoffs. Today is one of the more exciting days in the calendar. Enjoy, and in advance, safe travels for those taking to the road.

I will give Westgate some love. Seen them play a few times and they should be higher then 22. They should be above Zachary (apparently they lost to Zachary, which I find amazing. But, MCA lost to Byrd, but no one is ranking Byrd above MCA). |

Would definitely swap the two then. Sorry about that and thanks for pointing it out. |

Steven Gerrard, Zachary didn't just beat Westgate (which you find amazing), but they beat Westgate twice! The second meeting would have been worse than the final 4-2 if not stopped by lightning.
You know nothing about Zachary, but for some reason continue to make them the target of your efforts to promote your teams.

Today is one of the more exciting days in the calendar. Enjoy, and in advance, safe travels for those taking to the road. You know if the coach of the top team says it ain't so, then it isn't. The Mandeville district is by far the toughest as indicated by the rankings/seedings. Dist.5 was a meat grinder this year. Top 5 teams there are all very competitive with one another and sixth place Woodlawn will come on in the next couple years. They are very young, but definitely have some fight in them. The Top 5 in this district are all quality sides. I wouldn't even dream of putting them in the same category as the Mandeville area teams, but they will likely make a little noise in the playoffs. All have the potential to put together a string of wins, we just have to see if they can keep form. EA, Dutchtown, and SJA all finished fairly strong. BRHS pulled off an upset of EA to bolster their season, and St.Amant finished well against the two top teams in the district. We'll see once play starts this week. |

What time are brackets expected to be available/posted? When should we have game times associated with the matchups? It's my understanding all first round games have o be played by Friday at midnight.

You know nothing about Zachary, but for some reason continue to make them the target of your efforts to promote your teams. Sorry about that. Nothing against Zachary. They must have had a very bad day against West Monroe. Westgate played a much, much tighter game against West Monroe then Zachary. Perhaps Zachary was missing a bunch of key players? Again, I am only going off of what I saw when I watched both teams. No offense intended. And, I am not trying to promote "my" teams. I have no connection with any of these other teams that I have seen play, like Westgate or Natchitoches Central or Caddo Magnet. I am trying to give an unbiased opinion as to which is the better team (which is apparently incorrect if Zachary easily beat Westgate twice). Again, sorry, no slight meant against Zachary. |
