LSWA Girls bball rankings
The same thing I saw in the boys poll holds true in the girls: Some teams are playing way too many games. There's little reason that some teams should be at 30 games already. High schools start playing basketball at the same time as colleges and I don't know of too many college that have played more than 24 games at this point.
The girls and boys have to be tired by the end of the season, and one could only surmise that their bodies won't be giving them the best effort come playoff time. Of course, that's only man's opinion.
Chapelle is holding down the fort in 5A as the highest rated team in the immediate area. But in our coverage area, that would be Ponchatoula.

We also find that the schools with good boys teams seem to have decent girls teams, as well. I'm not exactly going to call these schools sports factories, but it does seem likely that if a team/school can get a footing, it's much more likely to get some supreme athletes for every sport.
Anyway, here you go. The girls poll. It'll be out every week on Tuesday from now until the end o the season. Boys comes out on Mondays, i believe.
