Armstrong County High School Basketball Championship 2007-08

This will be the 5th season of the Armstrong County High School Basketball Championship. The formula tries to determine the top basketball team in the county for the high school basketball regular season. Starting in mid December we'll update the weekly rankings. The formula for the ranking is of course top secret, however we'll say inter-county match-ups play an important role. Case in point last year when Leechburg won the boys WPIAL "A" title, but finished 4th in the rankings due to minimal wins in county, including a lost to Kittanning and 10+ lost regular season. Despite playing in "AAA" Kittanning girls & boys have done a great job in recent years scheduling non-conference games against local rivals. Last year the West Shamokin Boys and for the third straight year the Ford City girls were champions. Both these teams will be pre-season favorites to hold onto their titles. We're looking forward to a great year of high school basketball locally, and remember to back soon for the AC Basketball Rankings.
