busstogate Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Has South Bend St. Joe outfoxed all the IndianaMat rankings people or just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernIndianaVoice Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Very interesting. In the Class rankings they have South Bend St. Joe ranked 27th in 2A, and 28th in these rankings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NICfan Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 St. Joe also took 8th at the nic tournament last year, but hey, they might have improved that much over the off season. rdrodd1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hez Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 St Joe had five starters out at the NIC and they did take 7 to regionals and and all but one Are back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NICfan Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 They took 5th at sectionals. They jumped south bend adams and Washington and Elkhart isn't in the sectional. Clay is always tough and are returning 9 kids, 6 returning made it to regionals, from what I saw. Riley is returning 11 kids, also had a state qualifier transfer to them, And 5 other regional qualifiers. I'm all for st. Joe being a stronger team because it strengthens the NIC, but I don't see them passing the top 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
