Polls are definitely based on rep from previous season. Masuk should be ahead of NC but other than that it’s close. If this is a down year for NC and Greenwich I hate to think what the next 2 seasons must hold after they “rebuild” in this one.
fantastic
so now the media has gone from ignoring New Canaan as a rebuilding year to the coaches saying NC is 5th in the state
safe to say they fall somewhere in the middle…not sure they even deserve top 20 at this point
I also understand that this initial poll lives off of last years end results
You’ve got to be kidding me. Notre Dame of Fairfield is receiving votes?????
