The first Sweet 16 poll of the new season is out and Hickory comes in at #10. The Red Tornadoes are one of only two Unifour teams to receive a ranking. Hibriten will begin the 2008 season ranked #16.As I've said before the one genuine value of a pre-season poll is to show some respect for a quality program. So although a pre-season poll (especially an all-inclusive one like the Sweet 16) doesn't "prove" anything about how the season will turn out it does prove that Hickory is on the minds of the Observer's writers. It's almost time for the Red Tornadoes to start increasing that respect level by whipping some teams on the field. Crest will do for now!
