The new HS Club rankings see a huge change as we expand to 30 teams, anticipate even more coming in the few weeks, and see a few results and tip things over.
Royal Irish beating St. Edward and doing so convincingly is enough to see Royal Irish move up dramatically. SOC Raptors beating La Jolla and Okapi beating Key Biscayne bring both into the rankings. While the rankings correctly predicted Phoenix Alpharetta's and Aspetuck's wins, the results still force some movement (as idleness also allows some teams to drift downward a place or two).
In Utah, there are three things to note: 1) Genesis is still good; 2) West Valley beat United so West Valley moves into the rankings and at a high position because the win was very close and we still think United is pretty strong, and c) Snow Canyon is now a HS club not a single-school team, so they join this ranking.
Here's what we were thinking about some of those games.
