Rating rant targets North South gridiron standings

He cites Barboursville, Weirton, East Bank and Charleston High among others, notes suspensions and losses affecting top spots, and excludes Huntington and Mt. Hope despite strong showings. The piece decries sponsor influence and calls for fairer evaluation.
