Norwalk won't take a bye. That's all I know, Ha!
Or, was that simply a Gray tradition?

Early indications call for Lexington, Sandusky, Shelby and Mansfield Sr. To be the favorites. Willard could be a dark horse. As in most years this is once again a very tough district.

I doubt this would be a surprise since they are possibly the largest D2 school in the state. Being seeded #1 in their district could surely happen. I have not seen Sandusky play in person and was wondering who their signature wins would be against so far in this first half of the season? I know that Norwalk, Clyde, Ashland and Vermilion all have losing records? Does Elyria impressive record?

Can't speak for others, but I think most would assume that Lexington being undefeated would put them at the top of the ratings in the district. Sandusky doesn't have any signature wins at this point imo with their best wins coming against Bellevue, Perkins, and Elyria (they're at .500). if you took a snapshot of the rpi going into tonight, it would likely be Shelby, Sandusky, and Lexington in that order but close. Lexington's numbers get hurt by West Holmes and Clyde given the small sample size, and they'll get dinged again playing WH for a second time tomorrow night.

Lexington has had 3 games pushed back so in a couple weeks they should be even with other schools in games played. Now what the records will be nobody knows. I think the new RPI for seeding factors in school size and so far Lexington has played 5 teams that are D1. Sandusky also played Clyde so that should even out and both played Ashland.

Does anyone see the Lexington at Ontario game next Tuesday as a good game or should Lexington take care of business? That is why they play the games. Ontario at home should be a factor and they now have 4 days to prep for Lexington while they have 2 games this weekend. Coach Mergel coming from the OCC could factor into his prep being familiar with Lex.

I feel like we have seen this talk before. Define the Shed? I've never seen it as "a problem" to get a win. Not that long ago I read comments about Ontario having good depth and good shooters and confidence and good coaching. Has that all changed?

Rankings for Week 1
1. Sandusky 9-1 2. Shelby 10-1 3. Lexington 10-0 4. Bellevue 8-2 5. Mansfield Sr. 7-4 6. Sandusky Perkins 7-3 7. Ontario 5-3 8. Willard 7-7 9. Norwalk 4-7 10. Galion 5-6 11. Vermilion 5-8 12. Clear Fork 4-8
Here is how the rankings are determined
Martin RPI Formula = (WP x 35%) + (OWP x 35%) + (OOWP x 25%) + (SSF x 5%)
WP: winning percentage. Just your good ol’ wins and losses.
OWP: average of your opponents’ winning percentages. Calculating the averages of each of your opponents’ winning percentages will give you a slightly different result than if you find the OWP by adding the total number of wins by all your opponents, total number of losses by all your opponents, and finding the winning percentage that way (this is due to the varying number of games each opponent has played. If each of your opponents have played the same number of games, the result will be the same using both methods). If calculating on your own, be sure to average the winning percentages of each of your opponents and not the other way.
OOWP: opponents’ average opponents’ winning percentage. An example for this would be like saying Ohio State gets more points for beating a 15-3 Michigan State team than Dayton would get for beating a 15-3 Davidson team. This is because Michigan State’s 15 wins come against much tougher opponents playing in the Big Ten than Davidson’s opponents in the Atlantic 10 Conference.
SSF: School Size Factor. It’s a leveled point system which makes it slightly more beneficial to play schools larger than you. Table for how that works: D1: 5.5 D2: 5.0 D3: 4.5 D4: 4.0 For each opponent you’ve played, you’d average these values to obtain your SSF, which makes up 5% of the RPI.
