I was looking at the power rankings on Varsity Bound and it got me thinking who were the best or toughest districts in the state. I did class A here, and will try to do the others if I have time.
Basically all I did was take the rankings of each of the members of the districts and added up the total number of the rankings, the lowest total was the best and the highest the worst.
1. District 3
Score: 139
They have by far the lowest total, and also the #1 ranked team. The lowest team in the district North Tama is at 35 which is relatively good, and also beat a playoff team from another district.
2. District 7
Score: 181
They have the #3 team and then two other teams in the top 16 which makes it the only district with 3 teams in the top 16. They do have a couple of teams in the 40s.
3. District 4
Score: 200
Two teams in the top 10 at 7 and 8, they are hurt by a the bottom teams in the district which are lower then some.
4. District 2
Score: 202
The #2 team is in this district and two other quality teams at #11 and #19, some might argue that STA at #19 is low. They are hurt by two teams in the 50s.
5. District 1
Score: 206
HMS leads the way at #10, they have two very good loses though, then a few in the middle of the pack and a few in the 40s.
6. District 5
Score: 208
Two top 10 teams at 6 and 9, then one at 20 and one in the 30s, but 3 teams in the 40s and 50s hurts this district.
7. District 8
Score: 215
Woodbury Central is at 4, and LoMa is at 16, but after that the computer doesn't really care for this district.
8. District 6
Score: 246
I do think Lynnville Sully is a quality team at number 5. However I question if they are battle tested enough. This district is very weak after them. Madrid the number 2 is at 22, which is quite low for a 5-2 team.
