Region Boys Top 10 New Poll

[apollo]

1. Munster- beats unbeaten Columbia City 66-54 on the road, beats Homestead 63-61 and wins the Carroll Shootout, blew a big lead vs Huntington North to win 61-56, and Merrillville blew Homestead out. Munster can shoot too many three's at times and you know what three pointers can do if they don't fall.
2. Andrean- beat Indy Northwest on the road, Munster and Noll down the road, who can beat them in 3A Lebanon? Wallace looks beatable if you stop Cooper and Mish. Marian is struggling.
3. Merrillville- dominates Valpo by 11 at home, Williams and Owens need to clarify there roles off the bench, seem to hurt the flow at times from the tough starting 5 of Raspo- great athlete,Pruitt- double - double pts rbs machine, Talley- an inside and outside 3 pt player, Wilson- a great defender, and Jenkins- pure shooter- the best starting 5 in the region- talent wise.
4. Noll- wins Noblesville Tny over the hosts and New Haven
5. Lake Central - Wideman and Wilburn can they right the ship?
6. Bowman loses to Evansville North 67-59, Ben Davis 63-58, and Lawrence Central 74-72, the last time I checked these teams are not in 2A, but Noll and Park Tudor are.
7. Valpo- will miss Boetel and they missed him vs the Pirates Pressure and they have beaten Chesterton 11x in a row, Valpo beat Lafayette Jeff 56-44 also on New Years Day.
8. Chesterton- beats LaPorte by 14, play CP 1-4-13
9. West Side- Gary Holiday Tny Champ, beat Mich City 36-30, Wilson and Glover can play 4A Sect 1 Wildcard team to Munster and LC
10. Michigan City- Will the Wolves real deal please stand up or the one that lost to Portage and West Side?
KV gets blown out by Warsaw and no Kouts or Marquette cannot play and beat these teams and in my view would lose to CP, Portage, and Wallace too.

Munster beat Hun North 61-56 also, Noll over New Haven 68-64, and Bowman loses another close one to Ben Davis 63-58. The last time I checked the Ben Davis' and North Central's aren't in 2A though.

Munster? I don;t know, I haven't seen them yet, but I'm not sure they are better than Andrean. I think I would swao #1 and #2, but looks good otherwise.

Hard to argue against that list..Portage put up a good showing in the Bob Wettig Tournament..they have to be the story of the region so far this year..give Coach Snodgrass all the credit in the world..I thought he was done and ready to move on

What about Crown Point? The Bulldogs played really good against Merrillville and Michigan City with a lot of the players hurt or not back all of the way. We will beat Chesterton who is on this list. We are much better than them.

A young Chesterton team beat a CP team that was on a roll in last year's sectional. CP and Chesterton matchup on 1-4-13. So you have to go with who won the last time until they play again.

No Hammond teams. Not a surprise. They aren't very good.

Noll is a Hammond school with an East Chicago Address?
