Meet: A-AA Boys State Meet Predictions
Location: Cabell Midland High School
Date: To be held October 29, 2011
Predicted A-AA Boys Team Results
This will be another very closely contested team race. I have it separated by just three points,
and I come up with St. Marys edging out Oak Hill. I only have Philip Barbour another twelve points
back, so they could be a major threat as well. Both St. Marys and Oak Hill have had a couple runners
who have had their up and down moments. An up day for the front five of either team may seal the
deal. A down day for either team could drop them out of the top two. Philip Barbour isn't quite
as deep as the other two, so they have less room for error, but they do have some upward mobility.
I show Doddridge coming out on top of the battle for 4th but only by 8 points over Berkeley Springs.
1. St. Marys 109
2. Oak Hill 112
3. Philip Barbour 124
4. Doddridge 159
5. Berkeley Springs 167
6. Shady Spring 179
7. Ritchie 189
8. Ravenswood 192
9. Magnolia 195
10. Buffalo 200
11. Scott 215
12. Westside 220
13. Charleston Catholic 231
Predicted Boys A-AA Top 25
Will Shaffer sat atop the rankings for much of the season. Andrew Shaffer took over that spot late
in the season. Andrew Shaffer was 2nd last season. Will Shaffer was 3rd last season. The two haven't
run head-to-head this year, so things are a bit up in the air. I've been more impressed with what
Will Shaffer has done, so I'm giving him the nod. Evan Childers has been very solid all season. Bill
Feeney has also been very strong from beginning to end. Charlie Drazba has taken a big step forward
in the last two meets, winning both the LKC and the Regional Meet, beating Feeney in the process at
the Regional. Johnny Hogue has struggled late in the season, but he went through a similar patch
last year before finishing 6th in the State Meet. Cameron Davis typically runs well at the State
Meet. Wes Stowers has been very strong all season as well and beat Davis at the Coalfield Conference
Meet. Jordan Whitehair has also struggled late in the season. He's certainly a top 5 threat. Alec
Hinerman was 4th last season and is a threat to move up. It's possible for over 20 of these guys to
get in there. Things could end up very tight.
