Predicted A-AA Boys Team Results

Scott High has been perched atop the team rankings for several weeks. 
However, two-time defending champion Ravenswood knocked them off at the
Regional Meet last Thursday.  Throw in the fact that Oak Glen has the
top two runners in the state, and you have the makings of a great team
race.  We've crunched all the numbers and picked the individual finish
of every entrant in the meet, and believe it or not, we came up with a
tie.  Scott and Oak Glen came up with 77 points apiece.  The tie-breaking
sixth runner goes to Scott making them our pre-meet favorites.  We have
Ravenswood only a handful of points back, and they could easily take the
meet for their third consecutive title.  If any of these three teams
falter, Grafton and Williamstown will be ready to pounce on a top three
spot.

1.  Scott		 77
2.  Oak Glen		 77
3.  Ravenswood		 84
4.  Grafton		113
5.  Williamstown	114
6.  Ritchie		130
7.  Braxton		186
8.  Frankfort		189
9.  Keyser		235
10. Doddridge		251
11. PikeView		302
12. Richwood		316

Predicted Boys A-AA Top 25

Justin and Josh Simpson have been the story in the state all season long.
They have dominated all other runners in the state and could find themselves
competing in San Diego at the Footlocker Nationals.  Grafton's Scott
Gemberling is the favorite for the third spot with Chris Snell likely
close on his heels.  Things tighten up substantially after that.  This
was a very difficult year to make picks.  There are numerous people
that could climb up and take All-State honors.  We're giving the pre-meet
nod to Woody Snoberger, Jayson Lafferre, Seth Hauser, John Riffle, 
Adam Benford, and Adam Raper.
