I feel like Seattle Academy is way too high, while King’s is way too low. SA’s record may look great, but they play in the WEAK Emerald City League. They don’t have a signature win yet, unless they beat Bellevue Christian tonight. I’ve seen them play multiple times… they’re not that great.
Also, King’s is too low in my opinion. They were no. 3 a week ago, then lost to decent Granite Falls and Cedarcrest teams. Way too far of a drop.
But nonetheless, great work as always.
