Rankings this year have been crazy....I don’t know how to take Maxpreps ranking the way they have....if you went by league things would be way different.....surprisingly the Evergreen has been very tough this year....who would have thought Elma would have been 5-0 going into their game with Hoquiam? The top 4 teams in the Evergreen have been flat out tough from the opening game this year! I will be honest and say that I was surprised that Hoquiam beat Elma and then beat Monte like they did, now as for Monte they have 2 ‘legitimate’ losses on the year 2a Woodland and Hoquiam, therefore they should get some love in the seeding coming up here soon....I will say this though, the Monte-Elma game coming up this Friday will be very intense and expect a very hard game between those two teams!!!
