Predicted Class AAA Boys Team Results
University appears to be in a strong position to take the team title again this season. I have Morgantown in the 2nd spot, but not by a large margin as Cabell Midland sits waiting in the wings for the spot. Wheeling Park, if hitting on all cylinders could contend for that spot as well. I feel like there is a little gap after those four with Hurricane the next in line. I'm not 100% sure of some of the lineups, and I've made some assumptions in here that, if wrong, could alter things, though I wouldn't imagine it would be dramatic changes.
1.  University           54
2.  Morgantown           90
3.  Cabell Midland      100
4.  Wheeling Park       121
5.  Hurricane           152
6.  Woodrow Wilson      165
7.  Hampshire           185
8.  Jefferson           188
9.  Parkersburg         213
10. George Washington   217
11. St. Albans          263
12. Spring Mills        272

Predicted Class AAA Boys Top 25
Josh Edwards again comes in as the easy favorite. He has not been remotely challenged in the few meets that University got to run. The next four slots could really go any which way. I went with Franklin Angelos for the 2nd spot. He has upped his game the last two meets. Coming into the season, I had pegged Rocco DeVincent for the 2nd spot, and I originally slotted him in there in this, but I ended up dropping him into 3rd. Chris Lucas has also looked very good in his last two outings. I've slotted him 4th, but moving into that 2nd spot is very much a possibility. Keegan Barnette has knocked off Angelos on two occasions, so his moving up to 2nd wouldn't be a shock either. I've dropped Sam Lerose into the 6th spot as he has been coming around and looked good at his Regional. Quinn Jacquez had the 5th best Regional run of the group, so I've moved him up into the 7th slot. Cooper Gibson beat Lerose and Barnette at the Regional, so I may have pushed him too low at 8th. Jordan Thomas gets the 9th spot, having been close to DeVincent a couple times. Chase Pepper gets the 10th spot off a strong Regional run. There will be plenty of others vying for those podium spots.

The predicted top 25 is as follows. If you want to know where you are picked, just send me an e-mail, and I'll tell you.
