Obviously we don't know the inner workings of the MaxPreps rating system, but presumably it relates in large part to strength of schedule.
Melrose dropped to 20th, despite a pair of wins. Winchester, conversely, came in at 194th despite their 8-2 slate.Is the system 'perfect'? Clearly not, as Medfield was ranked 2nd in the country, which despite their achievements and talent, is not realistic in the national context. As I discussed recently, players in California who cannot even make their high school teams at elite schools are getting Division I scholarship looks on the east coast.
Melrose will have its chance to prove itself over the next couple of weeks at Central Monday and Barnstable the 16th.
