Public Groups 3-4-5
I have had Williamstown ranked in the top spot for most of the year and I am keeping them there. Some may look at one loss, but I have an important rule for public school teams: it is very rare that I will penalize a team for losing to a good Catholic school team and the Braves lost to St. Augustine.
