Boys HS Club Rankings 2026 Week 21

We took our time looking at these rankings because we had a lot of adjustments to make.

It's not really a surprise that Fort Hunt moves down. They were a Top 10 team but it was just a matter of time when some competition from outside the region might drop them down. Carmichael was the team to do it, and, similarly, we needed to see what they could do outside of their region.

Boys School-Team Rankings Week 21

Well the National Championships is done and we generally have teams performing the way the rankings might have predicted.

The big move is La Salette, and we kind of expected that. La Salette was linked with St. Edward due to an earlier tie, and we were just waiting for something to tell us that that result isn't relevant anymore.

Boys School-Team Rankings Week 19

Just about everyone in the upper reaches of our school rankings did what was expected.

St. Edward vs St. Ignatius was probably closer than a #2 vs a #14 should be, but not by much.

Boys HS Club Rankings 2026 Week 19

Key Biscayne's win in the Florida final over Okapi shakes things up. 

Biscayne moves up nine spots. The San Mateo Wolverines showed they are worthy of a move up, although it's still pretty clear that San Mateo, Lamorinda, and Granite Bay are all pretty close.

Boys HS Club Rankings 2026 Week 18

Playoff time hits a few states and that allows us to put aside thoughts of "oh, well, it was a tournament, or a non-league game, or a shortened game."

For the most part the leading teams in the rankings are just that. We do have a major shift in Northern California as San Mateo has taken several steps forward after a bit of a rocky start to the season.
