Friendship Cup Full of Top-Ranked Teams

The Friendship Cup tournament fires up Friday and will run for three days in Nashville with an impressive list of HS clubs in action.

We won’t call this a bracket because the Friendship Cup is more about getting the games in rather than a pool-knockout format with a final.

Boys School-Team Rankings Week 12

We are in the middle of a very fluid time within the school seasons.

Teams who don't play (North Carolina, most of California) will likely drift down, while more and more teams are playing higher-profile matches.

Boys HS Club Rankings 2026 Week 12

There is of course an argument as to who should be #1, but generally once we've settled on a #1, we need compelling evidence to knock them off.

Charlotte Cardinals have the Friendship Cup on the horizon, as do Cavemen (and several other ranked teams), so it seems smart to wait on them. San Diego Mustangs, frankly, did well enough to bump to #1, but we'll wait.

Xavier Holds Off Greenwich in Close One

Xavier HS of New York held off Greenwich HS of Connecticut in an early test of the two Tri-State rivals.

Greenwich mounted a furious comeback in this game but fell just short 33-26.

“This was a great game, but the forwards were definitely in the trenches,” said Xavier right wing Leonardo Heyman.
