Boys Season 2010-2011
Now that the girls are done. Predictions on Boys season???
Marvin is defending in 3A, do they return many from last years team. I know CC is always huge, but I know they lost at least 10 seniors. Seems to me
Marvin, Catholic, Hickory, Chapel Hill , and Jacksonville should be favorites, any other notes. Hows JM Robinson and Weddington going to be? 4A I am
a bit clueless. I know Page, TCr, Green Hope, AK, MP, and the Southwest will put 4 teams into the chase, hows NM....congrats to them for the girls,
will their boys be as strong?
Its a ways away, but what the heck.

JMR will be good this upcoming season but not like this past season where we were only tested in 2 of the 14 conf. games.
A 14-0 record will prolly not happen again in the conf. this season.
We will play some tough non-cof. games as well...overall, looking forward to the new season.

I have limited first hand knowledge. But, Marvin did lose a lot of seniors. Not sure of the #, but 10 sounds at least close. Good underclassmen, so
should be good again. Probably not as good as this past year though. Weddington lost only 3 starters (maybe 4). Couple freshmen that will make a
difference. The seniors they lost had backups that all played pretty substantial minutes late in the season last year. I think Weddington may surprise
some people.

I'd say Jordan has the best shot in 4A. They lost a couple of key players, but they return several key players as well. But, as we all learned this
year in both boys and girls, preseason means nothing as Jordan lost in boys playoffs and Leesville lost in girls playoffs.

Weddington has to be the local 3A favorite. CC and MR both lost large senior classes and major scoring threats.

I don't think Weddington winning would actually be classified as a surprise since they are typically good -- with what they have returning, I'd make
them the favorite in the conference.
Marvin lost only 5 seniors, but, they were all major contributors, so it may feel like more. The Defense should still be very good, but it will have
to be, as I think the scoring will be down.

Both Jordan and Leesville had very good seasons so I think this actually says the preseason attention was appropriate not inappropriate.
I don't think these two examples hold up in any way shape or form as examples where preseason rankings meant nothing. I believe both were ranked in
the top 10 Nationally going into the playoffs. If anything they point toward the preseason rankings as being a decent measure of identifying very good
teams.
All kinds of things happen in playoffs.... the outcome does not negate the body of work by a team.
Pick some examples where teams were in the top five and then had losing seasons and the logic holds up

I agree that the SW 4a will be as strong as always.
MP, SM, AK, and maybe providence will be in the running.
SM may have trouble at GK, i know they just graduated one.
Mp only lost a few seniors and i think they gained the twins?
Ak will have a dominant front line it seems.
Not sure about Providence but I think they had a strong jv team.

Agreed on the conference thing, PackChem. My point was (unclear I'll admit) that the past four state champs in 3A have come out of Mecklenburg and
surrounding counties (LKN twice, CC, MR) and that Weddington is THAT team next season, in my humble opinion.

Makes sense. I agree, on paper, Weddington, with those young attackers a year wiser, should be a favorite.

Very true, and Jordan had every right to be ranked as they were. And remember their playoff loss in 6 " of standing water.

Marvin Ridge are the State Champions. And, until they/someone else proves otherwise...they are the favorite, along with Catholic. Weddington may be an
"up and comer" though. Nice try ParkChem!

okay, preseason predictions, rankings, etc. don't mean "nothing, " they mean very little.. feel better? The body of work is bogus!! The State
Champions are Page and North Meck, period end of story.
By the way, was Jordan the only team playing in the 6" rain and the other team wasn't... ?

The rain helped Green hope greatly by slowing down Jordan's style of play. Usually the rain helps the less skillful team and in this case it did.

Wow, I'm picking Jordan as favorite for 2010, but such sour grapes/sore loser makes me hope someone else wins it if this is the way Durham people
really think.

Yes you have managed to capture all that is Durham.
Now you can back to your day to day activities.
