Granted it's early but their out of Region schedule includes the following teams and their current Poll ranking:
#2 Thompson
#3 Dickinson Trinity
#4 HCV
#9 Rugby
(RV) Grafton
Reminds me of Denny Crum at Louisville in the 1980's. His philosphy was play a tough schedule because even if it doesn't pay off in the Polls it pays off at the end of the year come tourney time.
I believe FW-M also plays #7 Shiloh, Beulah, Oak Grove, New Rockford-Sheyenne, to name a few. A very tough schedule, indeed.

The nice thing about Four Winds-Minnewaukan is that we will find out in a hurry if they are legit or not. Props to Rick Smith for putting together the toughest schedule in the state no matter if his team is #1 in the state or unranked.

FW-M going to move to 1? Pretty impressive start to the season playing a grueling schedule. Guessing Thompson will probably stay 1 as they have had some quality wins too and also H-CV had big win as well.

How could you move anyone above Thompson right now ?

Thompson had the #1 rank from the start of the poll...don’t see them dropping unless they lose
Run4Fun2009 wrote:QRF was last week (Thompson got two big wins...FWM got one) and doesn’t count out-of-state games
KMAV rankings and RPI also doesn’t count out-of-state games
These are a few variables that do not give a complete quantitative representation to the rankings.
But who really cares what your rank is now...it only matters what your rank is in mid-March!
