2023 Ratings: Berrien County

Girls Adjustment: +20
Boys Adjustment: +18

As always, these writeups below will shoutout someone or a team that stood out from the race. That may not be the best runner or the winning team. Perhaps a team that surprised, a runner breaking through, or a runner contributing to a team victory. Of course, if you come to me nicely and want to brag about a fellow team/competitor/teammate, let me know, and I’ll try to give them love further down the line.

MAKING HISTORY

Jimmy Carter was president, a gallon of gas was $0.62, the Lions had zero playoff wins. The year was 1977 and that was the last time that the Buchanan boys had won the Berrien County Championship. Until yesterday. The 13^th ranked Bucks have been getting it done with their top-5 packing up, usually in the range of 45 second difference between their first and final scorer. They cut it down to 26 seconds on Saturday, occupying spots between 11^th and 17^th, just low enough to clinch the team title.
