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.
We also add in some teams, with Warrior, Calvert Hall, De La Salle, Cumberland Valley, and Staples all coming in thanks to good wins, some against ranked opponents. (Warrior was a team we had waiting in the wings, but for the club side ... but they're single-school.) We also bring in Cathedral Catholic as the SCIRF league will begin next week. We haven't brought in Gonzaga yet, but they are expected to play soon.
We also have seen teams move up drastically simply because they finally played. Xavier HS of New York lost, but to a very good Aspetuck team, and move up. Jesuit of Sacramento also moves up drastically after winning an opening game. Delbarton and St. Augustine out of New Jersey also move up, albeit slightly, because they actually played games.
And we have moved some teams in the Top 10. St. Ignatius moves up in part because we have been talking with many coaches about how we reward a tough schedule, and it's worth noting that Ignatius has had a very tough schedule, and the better Royal Irish and Charlotte Tigers play, the better SIHS looks with their losses to those teams. Moeller HS also moves up because ... well because they just do. And Bishop Dwenger hangs tough at #10 after losing, but not badly, to Royal Irish.
