Well if we're going to base our criteria on wins then how do we explain Joe Hanstad's team taking 8th in their region? Yes, he's questionably the best player in the state (notice i said questionably for all of you who think Savvy is), he's is obviously a first team all-stater, but he was also on a bad team. Andrew Saari, a very talented player, should not be punished for being on a bad team just as Joe isn't punished or even questioned. There are very few kids who could be one man teams and make their team win, and thats joe included seeing that they took 8th. Since joe's stock hasnt dropped at all neither should anyone elses.
First, Take Joe and Saari off their respective teams, I think Belcourt is the better team. Second, I don't think I quite explained it right. If saari is an all-state player, his team would have been a little more successful than they were. I'm not saying they would be a top 5 or 6 team in the WDA but I think a 7 or 8 seed should have been accomplished.
