Forth Rankings (Class 2A Rankings)

I was just sent the Leflore county tournament bracket and I’m genuinely confused and I was just wondering if anyone could answer my questions on the seeding it makes no sense to me( now i’m just on the outside looking in) but i don’t understand how howe could possibly not be the number one team in the county they have been to the state tournament 2 years in a row won county last year and got runner up 2 years ago and have quit simply owned the county the last 2 years. Now I understand all that stuff is in the past and they graduated a lot of kids players so let’s look at this year. They won the crowder tournament are currently 9-3 and are the number 5 team in 2a and there last 2 losses have came from number 13 in 3a Roland and 8 in class A Rattan so they definitely aren’t having a down year yet this year so I don’t understand how the rankings could come out looking Panama 1, Pocola2, Howe3. I am not saying pocola and panama aren’t good teams i’m just simply confused on how howe could not be the number 1 and I understand this page is state wide and lots of people are on here but if anyone could just help me understand or throw in there opinion or maybe someone knows something I don’t im just simply trying to understand is all!

I believe this is seeded by a coaches vote so that’s why i’m really just trying to figure out what the coach’s are thinking or seeing. Because it makes no sense to me!

I wouldn't be surprised to see Pocola win it, You're starting to sell me on them more and more

And I also believe Howe has the best coaching hands there head coach has the most experience and there assistant coach is head coach caliber right now IMO.

I totally understand what you mean I think panama is good at scoring and that is all they care about you get up in there face and make them frustrated and it’s game over for them they have two good scorers and the rest are role players. I think howe has the upper hand against them because they have a better defense and if Howes 3’s are falling I think they are a better team then panama on offense imo and I think another upper hand howe has is they have owned panama the last 3 years and they stay in panamas head it’s very hard to beat a big brother figure and I think that’s what Howe is to panama a big brother that is always beating them up. And where I think howe has a advantage against pocola is that they go hard on defense all night and have a pretty deep bench and I don’t think pocola could handle it and I think where howe would have the advantage in a big game is pocola has been horrible for years so none of these players have ever played in a big game like the county championship or even the county semis and howe has players that have and they have two very good coach’s that will prepare the ones who haven’t played in a big game they will prepare them to be okay and not let the moment get to them IMO.
