Can this be right? Fab50 from Rivals.com Girls Ranking

[jeepgirl_4life]

Portsmouth Notre Dame is ranked Nationally? #28? Maybe I'm misunderstanding this completely. But IMO I would think that if a team from this area were to be mentioned nationally it would be South Webster or Oak Hill.

Two top five spots in the final Rivals.com FAB 50 girls basketball rankings for the season have been secured by Notre Dame Academy of Virginia and Cy-Fair of Houston with two more probably being wrapped up this weekend in California.

No. 1-ranked Sacred Heart Cathedral of San Francisco barely escaped in its showdown with previous No. 3 St. Mary’s of Stockton in the CIF Northern California Div. III championship with a 46-45 victory last Saturday. The Irish will now face Magnolia of Anaheim, a state-ranked team but not one ranked nationally, in the CIF Div. III state final this Saturday. A win would give head coach Brian Harrigan’s squad a third straight state title and would cement its status as the nation’s No. 1 team for the 2008 season.

With St. Mary’s dropping down to No. 8 this week, Cy-Fair moved up from No. 6 to No. 5. That team had already ended its season the previous weekend with a Class 5A state title in Texas. Notre Dame Academy, meanwhile, ended its season with a 61-42 win over Bishop McNamara of Forestville, Md., and will be no lower than No. 4 in the final rankings.

One of the teams that defeated Notre Dame Academy, Long Beach Poly of California, will play in this weekend’s CIF Division I state championship against Berkeley. The Jackrabbits, like No. 1 Sacred Heart Cathedral, are a strong favorite and are going for their third straight state title.

If the top-ranked Irish were to get upset in their final game, the No. 2 team that could move up would be unbeaten Murry Bergtraum of New York. The Lady Blazers are in the Public School Athletic League championships of New York City this weekend at Madison Square Garden (they play on Sunday after the Big East Conference men’s tourney concludes) and then would play the following weekend at the New York Federation state championships.

This has to be a mistake. I've been reading Doug Huff's stories since I was a kid, and he is always on top of his facts. Sorry Doug, you are that old!!!

Something is astray here, so I would not take this story too seriously....

[Black Panther]

Maybe that was supposed to be Mount Notre Dame from Cincinnati?
