A New #1
Nobles, on the strength of an 18-game winning streak, has moved into the #1 spot in this week's USHR Prep Poll.
Last week was a strange one, as many teams shot themselves in the foot. Nobles didn't - they went 3-0. Milton went 3-0 as well. Salisbury had an easy win over Kingswood-Oxford and a hard-fought tie with Avon. The other seven teams in the poll had at least one loss, and Belmont Hill had two.
KUA and NMH got the boot this week, though they are bubbling under, and are extremely close to the pack. However, room had to be made for Milton and Salisbury, returnees to the top 10.
To show how mutable things are, consider Avon. The Winged Beavers blasted then-#1 Gunnery 6-0, lost 2-1 in OT at Choate, then tied 1-1 at Salisbury. On paper, that's a .500 week, but considering the quality of opponents, a 'good' .500 week, so they moved up three slots. Whether they actually make the big tournament or not is another question. They really should have cancelled their Xmas Classic this winter.
Anyway, a lot of teams had a chance to make a statement over the past week, but flubbed the opportunity -- and that's the story of the penultimate week of the regular season.
