Flawed polls
It's a good thing high school athletics isn't run by the BCS.
If it were, Kingston's girls basketball loss to Minisink Valley earlier this week would have all but denied the Tigers a shot at competing for a state championship.
For those who didn't know, Kingston was ranked first in the state in AA until the unbeaten Tiger lost to the Warriors. Now, you would think a drop to seven or eight would have been appropriate, but 23rd? Are you kidding me!
Minisink is a state-ranked team, certainly not an also-ran by any stretch of the imagination, so how does losing to a state-ranked team warrant a drop of 23 places?
If you can answer that, you know a lot more than most.
Luckily, Kingston does not have to worry about rankings and I have a sneaking suspicion come state tournament time, the Tigers will be major players. They have made it to the state semifinals the last three years so maybe they deserved a little more respect by the pollsters.
