This year’s version of the TeamBrunnhilde state tournament rankings comparison has eight rankings. The same seven as last year and a return of a TeamBrunnhilde RPI. There is again a composite ranking included. The TeamBrunnhilde linear model for points has always won this comparison, but I sometimes wonder.
This year for the third year in a row Cashmere is my 1A girls #1 team. The previous years that looked good until Lynden Christian came around. So I wonder again. This year Lynden Christian girls lost three games in four tries in the last two weeks of January. Before that, it was three losses in 87 games. So maybe it is Cashmere’s year.
In Boys 2B, Odessa is the consensus choice for second place. Sorry. Not what they want.
For the 96 regional games, 59 are picked unanimously. Last year it was 57. The Girls 3A tournament regionals would be entirely unanimous but for Hudson’s Bay being ranked higher than Roosevelt in Win-Loss.
The full comparison is here. To be updated as the tournaments progress.
