High school rankings

[triplethreat]

Pre-season Rankings and predictions are always fun and certainly cure the winter blues, but for fun I went and looked at the final rankings last season prior to playoffs starting, belows are from the ICA board, as it shows how really good teams can go under the radar while other team's who's school history proceeds them.

This year, Providence, Benet, Trinity, Carey Grove, St. Charles East, Bartlett, Fremd, St. Charles North could be some teams to keep an eye on in the early going based on returning pitching and hitting. While Barrington , Naperville Central, and Nequa Valley could be sleepers.

Lets hope the new coach can get them all on the same page. That is a good program over there. Hopefully they can bring it back to how suds had it

Coach Maisto was the head softball coach at Burlington long before Suds took over and then he returned for a time as Suds's Asst. Coach. There should be no doubts that he'll continue Burlington's great softball tradition as he is the one that helped start it in the first place.

Holt - I Agree. Maisto is a good coach and will get that program back to where it should be. Always good talent out there!
