New to PGH Team Database: Power Scores
We're excited to announce the launch of our High School Team Database and Power Scores! Building on the success of our Player Database, the Team Database provides an intuitive way to sort, filter, and explore teams in each state based on their Power Score.
Click here to check it out, or navigate under the "teams" tab on the state homepage menu bar.
What Are Power Scores?
Power Scores are calculated using an algorithm that factors in:
• Win percentage
• Point differential
• Opponent win percentage
• Strength of schedule (opponent and opponent's opponent win %)
• Classification size
These rankings aim to provide a snapshot of the high school basketball landscape, updated every Sunday night for a refreshed view every Monday morning. Our scores and schedule have become a reliable source of timely information to follow the scene, and we're excited about how our Power Scores will continue to add value to basketball junkies on Prep Girls Hoops. While no algorithm is perfect, our goal is to create meaningful visibility for teams and spark engaging discussions among fans.
Early on, the Power Scores are likely to favor teams that are undefeated or that have played a tougher schedule. There are likely to be surprises at first. As the season progresses and the contenders separate themselves from the pack, we're excited for our Power Scores to emerge as an authority for team rankings in each state.
Why It Matters
Our Team Database makes it easier than ever for readers to find their teams and explore rankings. It's designed as a dynamic resource to highlight the broader high school basketball scene and keep fans connected.
