Our first week of Boys HS Club rankings is somewhat like the School rankings except that there have been more HS Clubs in action so far.
We are still ranking teams much, much more on what we've seen so far combined with how close they are to playing. With several teams looking to play their first games as early as this coming weekend, we feel confident with this Top 20.
However, already we have an issue with Florida. Three teams have one loss, with Jacksonville having lost to Boca, who lost to Key Biscayne, who lost to Wellington and Okapi. So ... at some point we're going to have to put aside one result and say "well, that's not representative of the team's season."
Right now, because Jacksonville has won three games and the other teams have won two, we've got Jacksonville nominally in front. (Naples is ahead being 3-0). But they are all lumped together.
We will have lots of changes going forward, but the top six are pretty strong.
