Any 2A thoughts? A couple of weeks ago I would have said that I had a hard time seeing anybody being able to beat Ambrose after they handled Melba, but since then they have been beat by both Nampa Christian and Oakley. The WIC seems like a bloodbath this year. Ambrose, Melba, Cole Valley, and Nampa C all are solid and have the ability to beat one another, and New Plymouth is a potential spoiler. North Fremont hasn't lost since the first game of the season versus West Side, but I don't know that I would rank them ahead of Ambrose or Melba. West Side is solid, but the rest of their district seems down. St Maries will come out of the north again, and are a good team, but got beat pretty easily by Ambrose earlier in the year (it was a competitive first half, then the Archers ran away with it in the second half.) District Four is the toughest to predict, all three squads are decent and could prevail, but I don't see any of them making too much noise at state.
My personal ranking: 1 Ambrose, 2 Melba, 3 NorthFremont, 4 St Maries, 5 West Side, 6 Cole Valley, 7 Wendell, 8 Ririe 9 Nampa Christian, 10 Valley.
I still don’t think the rankings are accurate for the best teams in the state. West side does not look like a #2. I think NF deserves the #1 but Melba and Ambrose should follow as #2 and #3. St Marie’s would be a good #4 and then I’d put West Side at #5. The rest of the way looks about right with #6 Firth beating bear lake both times.
