This was pointed out by Val of RTC Sports, but how in the world does Winamac receive votes in the 1A poll by our esteemed media when they aren't even in 1A?

Maybe the media was distracted by the coaching carousel that's been happening up there lately.

My personal theory is that the media got the inside scoop at Diamond Lil's and Bill and Babe's after the Power From the Past festival.
