High School Boys
We have come to the final school-team rankings of the 2022-2023 season.
We waited a couple of weeks to post these final rankings because there were a few results here and there to track, but not so many that it was worth torturing you all with a ranking where 98% of the teams didn't move.
As a result, however, we do have some drastic movers and here's why:
The Illinois Tornados won the Boys Buckeye Invitational select side tournament in dramatic fashion Sunday, while the girls title was won by North Carolina.
Day One scores from the Buckeye Invitational All-Star Tournament.
Boys:
Ohio Aviators 21-10 Illinois Tornados
Illinois Tornados 19-5 North Carolina
Ohio Aviators 31-20 Celtic Elite
Celtic Elite 12-0 North Carolina
