Two major changes have been approved to the state’s RPI rankings for boys and girls high school basketball. One change: Out-of-state opponents will no longer all be considered teams with a .500 record – so facing an elementary school team from Alaska will no longer be considered the same as facing the Golden State Warriors. The other change: District playoff games will be included in a team’s RPI – so Kentwood can beat Union and Federal Way to win the district title and not be ranked behind those schools when teams are seeded into the state tournament. Those adjustments were approved by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association’s executive board and will be put into effect for the 2017-18 season. “We have one year of data and that has helped us a lot,” said Greg Whitmore, who chairs the WIAA’s RPI committee and is the athletic director of Lind-Ritzville High School.
