Pre-Season OR 6A Girls Rankings

Continuing the look at my Oregon Rankings, here are the 6A Girls Pre-Season Rankings. Unlike Washington, I can’t include more than one or two incoming freshmen because it’s much less clear where those athletes are headed, and for the girls rankings that is a big deal (freshmen impacting the girls varsity team isn’t very uncommon at all, unlike the boys where strong teams generally don’t rely on freshmen to score points).

With that limitation in mind, take these lists with an even bigger grain of salt than usual.
