We had Parkwood listed as an HM in the west previously, but dropped them out with the latest update. I immediately updated the 3A rankings to reflect this result, and I updated the 4A rankings as well after West Forsyth defeated Davie last night.
As for dropping Parkwood, allow me to explain my reasoning. First, I thought about keeping them listed until the match with CATA took place, because I knew it was a match they could win. I didn't, because we were already listing 2 teams more than we want to, and the teams we have listed are just as deserving to be listed as Parkwood. With Parkwood, however, they lost to Porter Ridge and Weddington. Porter Ridge finished behind Central Cabarrus by 11 points at the Roughedge Rumble. Porter Ridge also lost to Union Pines. In evaluating the Piedmont-Weddington matchup I felt like Piedmont was a little better and Piedmont beat Enka 39-33. Enka isn't as good as they have been, but are still tough, although their grueling dual schedule may have some believing otherwise. Not me. I stayed with CATA because of their tournament team value, but knew I was taking a calculated risk because CATA forfeits too much to be a serious threat in the state duals. If I had it to do again, I would have kept Parkwood listed as an HM and went with my initial decision to completely drop CATA from the top 10 dual rankings, but had I done that you wouldn't have been able to make this post. LOL. But this is why the matches are wrestled.
There is a method to the madness of rankings and when I'm conducting research on the teams that are ranked sometimes I have to go in depth to be able to make a genuine listing of teams that deserve to be listed. Congratulations to Parkwood on a good win that has now listed them in the 3A top ten.
