The latest NACA National Rankings were released yesterday and our 28-point loss to Bethlehem knocked us out of the #1 position. We dropped to #2. Although being ranked #2 in the Nation is still quite an accomplishment for Covenant to be proud of, it does not get us the first round bye that we REALLY want going into the National Tournament.
Freedom Life Academy from Montgomery, AL (currently #1) has a record of 14-2 with only three games left. If they win all three games, they’ll end their season at 17-2 compared to our record of 17-5 (after we wrap up the regular season against Maranatha). 17-2 vs. 17-5 …that’s pretty much a no-brainer for the NACA to rank.
However, we have the opportunity to finish in the Regional/Final Four tourneys at 21-5 and may get the nod over Freedom Life Academy if they end up dropping a game or two in their post-season tournament.
Let’s not waste the opportunity that still lies before us.
Nobody ever remembers who finished second…except the guy who finished second.

going into the tournament number one is no big deal. maintaining that position while they are there is the part that they are going to have a problem with after we play. we are number one in this nation and we are gonna prove it in 3 weeks at nationals and the weeks leading up till then.
