Updated Rankings

This week most teams begin their season. Despite temperatures an average of 15 degrees below normal, everybody's excited about the upcoming games.

Although they haven't been updated in two weeks, Rugby Magazine's most recently posted girls rankings see Kettle Moraine move into the Top 10, after not being ranked. This is probably in recognition of their impressive fall season, with their only two losses coming to DSHA. Brookfield drops to #13 without losing a match. Sorry ladies! Probably just an adjustment in fairness to Kettle Moraine's higher finish.


It should be pointed out that these rankings are not the work of WGR, nor do they express the opinions of any WGR staff or adminstration. They are mentioned here purely to generate interest and debate, as well as, perhaps, motivation.

While it appears that only three of the teams in the top twenty field players from only one school, these three single school teams are all in the top ten. Most of the programs listed draw players from mutiple schools.

Always fun to see the rankings, things get curious when a team like Mother Lode beats the Amazons yet somehow stay ranked below them. (And actually beat them twice as they saw them in a preseason tournament)
