Four of the top 10 teams on recent rankings are rec league “All-Star” teams: East Rowan, South Charlotte, MARA Mud Dawgs, and West Raleigh Blue. West Raleigh Blue won the Eastern North Carolina State Championship and made it to the Southeast Regional Semifinal. South Charlotte won the Western North Carolina State Championship, beat the Virginia State champions in the Southeast Regional, and also made it to the Southeast Regional Semifinal. MARA Mud Dawgs blew out East Rowan 10-0 in the Western NC State tournament, and qualified for the Southeast Regional. East Rowan lost to MARA Mud Dawgs 10-0, and lost to an unranked Alexander County “All-Star” team, and didn’t even make it past pool play in the State tournament. Yet, somehow, they vault to #2 in the rankings? Sure makes one wonder about the criteria . . .
