Oct. 16 Statewide Girls Soccer Coaches Polls
OSAAtoday presents its twice-monthly statewide Girls Soccer Coaches Polls in all classifications. Thanks to all the coaches who took the time and had the expertise to contribute their opinions to this endeavor.
We also will have a Girls Soccer Coaches Poll next week. It will be the final one of the 2018 Girls Soccer season.
Please note: these polls are for generating interest and discussion only and have no impact on the OSAA’s RPI and Colley ratings that form the basis of the OSAA’s rankings for playoff purposes.
