Drew Pasteur won't publish his first high school football Fantastic 50 until next week, but in the meantime, the rankings guru has given us the rankingsby the school's SAT scores, of the top 50 statewide and top 10 in each classification.
He's also listed the 2008 SAT scores for each team in the final Fantastic 50 from last season, which includes SouthWest Edgecombe and Fike. Sadly, no schools in The Wilson Times readership area landed in the SAT Fantastic 50 or even the top 10 in each classification.

Who's ranked and who's not
With high school baseball, softball and girls soccer about to begin the state playoffs, here's a quick glance at who's ranked and who's not.
In the N.C. Soccer Coaches Association 3-A girls poll, Fike rose one spot to No. 6 this week while Hunt lurks just outside the top 15.
Fike (16-1-1) lost to No. 5 Asheville T.C. Roberson and tied 2-A No. 2 Swansboro at The Brittany. Hunt (15-2) lost to Jacksonville early in the season and Fike a few weeks ago. Both teams won their conference regular-season championships and with tonight's wins (Fike 4, Nash Central 0 — Hunt 3, Charles B. Aycock 0), advance to the tournament finals of the NEW 6 Conference and Eastern Carolina Conference, respectively.
The N.C. Softball Coaches Association lists Aycock at No. 4 in its 3-A state poll. The Golden Falcons' only loss came to No. 1 D.H. Conley early in the season and a rematch this week was rained out. Looks like second-year head coach Brad Matthews may have CBA back at Walnut Creek Softball Complex for the state final four after a two-year absence.
The IMPACT Baseball state poll, voted on by IMPACT staff, coaches and media, had a curious turn of events in the most recent poll released Monday. Previously unranked Charles B. Aycock rose to the No. 4 spot with a 17-5 record on the strength of its defeat of former No. 1 Eastern Wayne (16-3) now fifth, last week.
Not to denigrate CBA or its win against Eastern Wayne because the Falcons are always a dangerous club, but that kind of ascension is circumspect. And Aycock head coach Charles Davis will be the first to tell you that polls don't mean a thing. Having said that, it wouldn't surprise me if CBA wins the ECC tournament, set to begin Friday night after two rain delays.
In the IMPACT 1-A poll, North Johnston moved to second from fourth.
Finally a note from the N.C. High School Athletic Association spring meeting this week. The organization has voted to play girls and boys sectional basketball games on the same nights next winter. The old format had girls playing Monday, Wednesday and Friday and boys playing Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Now they will all play Monday, Wednesday, Friday and girls-boys doubleheaders will be encouraged to trim travel expenses.

It's poll time again!
Preseason rankings are already out for fall sports and several area teams have been recognized.
Starting with the N.C. High School Tennis Coaches Association poll, the Fike Lady Golden Demons are No. 3 in 3-A while Rocky Mount is fourth. Should be an interesting season in the NEW 6 Conference. Also, defending 2-A champion Greene Central is third in that poll while the Lady Rams' Eastern Plains Conference nemesis Tarboro is tied for seventh.
The N.C. Soccer Coaches Association rankings are based on last season's finish and have not been updated yet. Therefore, Fike's No. 2 ranking the 3-A poll will likely change dramatically as the Demons have lost two of their first three matches, including a 3-0 defeat to Asheville T.C. Roberson at The Brittany Willis Memorial Scholarship Soccer Showcase on Saturday.
Charles B. Aycock, 10th in the preseason poll, should move up after winning its first three matches, including 1-0 win at Fike last week. Rocky Mount, now coached by former Hunt coach Drew Nick, is 15th in the preseason rankings.
In the 1-A poll, North Johnston is 11th and is now 1-1-1 after a 2-2 draw with Southern Nash in The Brittany on Saturday. In the private school poll, Greenfield, the defending N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association 1-A champion, is No. 7 with a 3-2-2 mark.
Although the Lady Demons didn't earn a spot in the NCRunners.com preseason 3-A cross country poll, Fike was picked fourth in the 3-A East Region behind Jacksonville White Oak, Jacksonville and West Carteret.
