No way. Tower Heights more than doubled Solon's state score and lost to them at almost every invitational by a significant margin (especially at competitive invitationals such as Centerville, where they lost by over a hundred points to both Solon and Daniel Wright). There state score hasn't improved from last year (it's worse by more than 20 points) and though they will definitely still be in the top 20 and potentially top 15, it's really doubtful that they can make top 10.dholdgreve wrote:FWIW, Solon took 1st place in 13 of the 23 events at Ohio State Competition. They are as close to unbeatable as it comes, barring a total melt down, or getting half the team stuck in an elevator. Tower Heights has been severely under-rated. I expect them to finish top 10 as well.

Re: Unofficial Rankings B
Don't really agree with this. There are a lot of very good teams that may be in the top 10, but I don't think Tower Heights is one of them.dholdgreve wrote:FWIW, Solon took 1st place in 13 of the 23 events at Ohio State Competition.

Re: Unofficial Rankings B
Based on a clarification I got regarding the NH scoresheet, Walpole's placement in my rankings has been updated to 48th. All other teams have been kept in the same order.

Re: Unofficial Rankings B
Rumors abound... but I've heard that Solon kids are no longer allowed to take an elevator to get to their events, just to avoid that possibility... True?irisvirus wrote:it's a cautionary tale, now (lol i almost called it a "warning story" before realizing that wasn't the actual phrase)Unome wrote:'08 or thereabouts, Solon HS lost a Nationals bid because of this.Froggie wrote: I thought this was a joke..what happened?

Re: Unofficial Rankings B
Why do you expect Daniel Wright to be weaker than in the last three years? In addition, Marie Murphy was trailing Daniel Wright by about 30 points at IL State and got 24 in Thermodynamics (and I can attest to the fact that the test was WAY too easy. I wouldn’t even give it at invite or regionals.) I would expect MM to be trailing DWJHS very closely, and I think that there is a small chance that MM will outrank DWJHS.
