As far as I know WYMT has never had a soccer poll before. We decided to change that. So we invited all the coaches in the 16th Region (which has most of our soccer playing schools in it) to vote for who they thought would win the Region. The coaches ranked them as first, second and third most likely to win the Region.
3 points were given for a first place vote, 2 for a second place vote and 1 for a third place vote. Nine coaches voted in the girls' poll, eight coaches' voted in the boys poll. Here are the results.
