Rankings

Rankings are opinions. They don't come down on stone tablets. The latest Mass High School volleyball rankings are out. 

The MIAA power ratings will provide an 'objective' perspective when they come out in the next couple of weeks. Last year they proved highly predictive of postseason outcomes. 

Have a 'chip on your shoulder'. In 1973, we went into the postseason basketball "Tech Tourney" not ranked in the top ten in Division 1. Coach Lane's motto was, "Who are those guys?" When the dust settled, we won the D1 North Sectional, only to lose by three in the State semifinals. 

The quality of your work and subsequent play defines what happens downstream.
