KC Metro Sports Pre-Season Super 25

KC Metro Sports released their annual Super 25 poll this week, with four Sunflower League teams making the list. Having observed the poll through the years I can say that Metro Sports' does a great job ranking their Super 25, and that the poll does a pretty good job avoiding biases.

With regard to Sunflower League teams, the only ranking on this list that jumped out to me was Olathe South at #9. The Falcons would make quite the splash if they were able to go from a 4-5 season in 2009, to a top ten ranking in the Kansas City metro in 2010. With their returning experience and talent, and the obvious confidence Jeff Gourley has in his team, you never know.
