Now that you've had your Sista Soulja moment, let's speak facts. I didn't minimize their win at all, and if you read my comment, I am rooting for them to win the Open Division State championship. But let's call it what it is. You have teams in the top TOC division that shouldn't even be there and you and I know this if you really know girls hoops. I won't say any names other than the names you already mentioned to prove my point.
You mentioned Xavier College Prep. They finished 16-13 last year, and I've never been sold on them. You shouldn't either. Arizona is the NOT hardest path and if you pay attention to the She Got Games tournaments etc back east as well as other tounaments outside of the westcoast the Canada teams don't do well even though they are good. I follow national girls hoops not just local or west coast
Last year Bishop McNamara had a good record 21-6 but lets look deeper. They lost every major game they played and even lost to a weak Paul VI late in the season. They haven't been the same since Sanyah Jah left and went to Monteverde lets be real. They are now 4-4 and if they play other tough games you will see what I'm talking about.
Monteverde lost to Bishop McNamara so I have doubts of how good they will be but it's early. They will be good dont get me wrong but losing to Bishop McNamara was a bad loss
IMG academy girls were 12-13 last year. This year they may be good but I will wait til later in the season see if they are for real. So far the past two seasons they never panned out.
Sacred Heart(KY) lost to MAter Dei of SAnta Ana in TOC so don't talk to me about how good they are.
These rankings can't possibly be the hand picked xcellent rankings because Mater Dei of Santa Ana should be nowhere near a national ranking.

If you follow National High SChool Girls basketball you know that rankings, Max Preps expecially put way too much weight on the schools on the other side of the country. And no one took anything away from Mitty because LuHi is a legit Power and WAS a legit #1 and Mitty beat them. I'm rooting for Mitty to bring home the open division championship for state this year. Not sure where you got downplayed their TOC victory. But lets keep it a buck. some of those teams didn't belong in that divison. But Mitty did a great job representing Norcal and I'm proud of that. They will continue to do a great job as they have always done. I'm the one on this thread always sticking up for Coach Phillips when a certain individual tries to trash her coaching. She is a great coach. But don't come for me unless you are ready to dig into the statistical data.
