Rank Team Record Comment
1 (1) Memorial 3-0 Defending state champs are starting off as strong as last year. Until proven otherwise, the Tigers are #1 in the state.
2 (17) Washington 3-0-1 Hanging tough with the state's best, the Hatchets earned respect and a #17 ranking at last weekend's Hoosier Cup.
3 (10) Castle 3-0-1 The Knights are looking good, but a showdown with Washington is coming up.
4 North 5-0-1 "Those huskies are SO hot right now!"
5 Jasper 2-1 The wildcats rebound nicely from their 4-0 loss to Memorial, which strangely enough was the closest anyone has played them.
6 Northeast Dubois 4-0 Jumping out to a 3-0 conference record, the jeeps look poised to repeat as Blue Chip champions.
7 Harrison 2-1 The Warriors have pushed the heft of their schedule to the end of the season, no doubt so that they peak come playoff time.
8 Mater Dei 4-2 The Wildcats showed grit at the Hoosier Cup, but the loss to Memorial shows they have a way to go.

Also worth noting: Reitz, Central, North Posey
