GRR: HS Rankings
It remains a mixed up and somewhat confused school-support team rankings, as some teams are just starting, some are stuck playing in leagues without playing out-of-state, making it very difficult to just where they stand against everyone else.
This was a very weird HS Club Rankings week.
While the top six remain unchanged because they all performed as expected, and perhaps even a bit better than expected, the rest of the Top 50 got a shakeup for a number of reasons:
1. Teams that have been idle a relatively long time lose traction.
This week sees massive changes in the Boys School rankings.
First of all, we've got to acknowledge that a couple of teams we'd been ranking as school teams are actually clubs and we're moving them over —Layton Christian and St. Charles Prep. We know, the names indicate they are single-school teams, but they're not.
The two big pieces of news in the HS Club rankings are first off that the top of the rankings held up quite well with close games in two key matchups of top-10 teams; secondly, we're adding several teams because leagues are starting or about to start.
So we're up to 50.
With New Jersey kicking off we add two teams from the Garden State to the rankings, while also adding in Medina, Salesianum, and Spring Hill.
We move Herriman up to #1 after they beat two well-regarded and ranked teams. With California gearing up we could see some major shifts near the top.
