Ridgeway Rules the Roost…”Lucky 13″ Ahead

This should be a fun adventure.

TPH releases the first "Lucky 13" team rankings for the state. The rankings will be open to all schools regardless fo class and should be fun to discuss and debate over.

I will preface this with some comments such as teams are judged on their own merit. I know some AAA teams with a few losses could beat some A teams with less; however, we are rewarding achievement and how you do against your peers is vital. I also know their will some records that may not be correct, please give me a heads up if you see something out of whack.
