And the results are in! Major thanks to Pat Montferrat who has been running this poll for 9 years now! He sets the rankings by gathering the votes from 10 poll voters every week throughout the season! Keep checking back each week to see who moves up and down. We have anxiously been waiting for a hand picked list and here they are the state rankings for the 2014 preseason. Will these be the teams competing for a state championship at Holmdel in the fall? Only time will tell as rankings aren't results but it doesn't mean we can't get excited about the prospective seasons these talent rich teams could be setting out for. Enjoy and be nice in the forums. We will have individual team breakdowns and previews over the next few days! Also keep an eye out for our top athlete returner articles which will be coming out soon. - Robert Kellert
