West Michigan Allstar Top-10 Teams: Basketball Week-10

We here at West Michigan Allstar have done the dirty work, combing the far reaches of the Internet for nuggets of pertinent basketball info until our beards grew dark and the coffee was gone, all to rank the Top-10 basketball teams in West Michigan.  You’ll find the results below.

Along with a team’s record, these rankings take into account quality of wins, talent, synergy,  and a handful of more subjective factors, and may be correctly interpreted as an authoritative list of the top basketball teams in West Michigan.

The top four teams have never been closer than they are right now, and a case could be made for any of them.

Yeah, ranking teams is a tough business.  But somebody’s got to do it.

West Michigan Allstar’s Top-10 (Week-10)

1. Muskegon Heights — First loss of the season shakes their spot, but doesn’t dislodge them from #1.
2. Kalamazoo Central — Two more blowout wins (#1) (#2) and now closer spread.
3. Wayland — Still undefeated at 13-0, and looking at their schedule, good chance they stay that way.
4. Grand Rapids Union – Also undefeated at 13-0, but near loss against Holland.
5. Grand Haven – At this point a clear choice for top defensive team in West Michigan.
6. Richland Gull Lake — Squeaked by Three Rivers and then beat Dowagiac.
7. Otsego — Rebounded from loss to Gull Lake with three straight wins.
8. Grand Rapids Christian — Shaky win over Grand Rapids Creston, but a win’s a win.
9. Schoolcraft — Loss to Parchment drops them, but they took out frustration on Kzoo Hackett.
10. Muskegon WM Christian — Lost to Muskegon Heights, but shouldn’t lose again this season.

Close but no cigar (alphabetical): Battle Creek St. Philip, Comstock Park, Covert, Godwin Heights, Grand Rapids Ottawa Hills, Grandville Calvin Christian, Greenville, Holland, Holland Christian, Hudsonville, Kalamazoo Loy-Norrix, Montague, Parchment, Rockford, Sparta, Spring Lake, Zeeland West.
