Iowa high school basketball podcast: Who has the best rankings?
Breaking down the rankings and this week’s big games on the Prep Basketball Huddle
Jan. 26, 2022 6:45 pm
In Iowa high school boys' basketball, we have the Associated Press poll. BC Moore and Varsity Bound have metrics-based rankings. Prep Hoops Iowa has its own set of rankings.
So who does it best, and how should sportswriters rank teams in different parts of the state?
The Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union ranks teams itself and uses that for the postseason.
What are the pros and cons of that system?
The Gazette's Jeff Johnson and Jeff Linder discuss on the latest Prep Basketball Huddle after talking about the notable games of the week. That includes Cedar Rapids Kennedy's convincing boys' win over Dubuque Hempstead and Iowa City High taking its first two losses on the girls' side.
