Broken Bow Gremlins Overtakes Orillia for Top Spot
Not much movement from the June 21 rankings to the final set, which is used for seeding of the ISC World Tournament. The biggest jump came from the So Cal Bombers, moving from # 7 to # 4, no doubt on the strength of their win at Monkton among all of the best teams.
Broken Bow, however, grabbed the top spot, moving up from # 3 to # 1, trading places with Orillia, which held the top spot nearly all season long. Patsy’s stayed put at # 2. Broken Bow was the consensus choice for the top spot, garnering 8 of the 12 first place votes, while Patsy’s and Orillia just two each. The Bombers received no first place votes, despite the win at Monkton, but did get three second place votes.
Kitchener, The Farm and Minn Dak moved down one slot each, more a measure of making room for the Bombers jump than anything else. Most of the rest stayed put. Portland traded places with Midland (# 12 and #13), likely on their runnerup finish at Rose Cup. Bloomington and Pueblo also traded places (#17 and # 18), as did Planggers and Elkland (# 23 and 24).
