High School Boys
Newly #1-ranked school team St. Ignatius capped off Senior Night with a 64-24 victory over rivals St. Edward in a midweek meeting of the two Cleveland, Ohio teams.
The game was the finale match of the Cavoli Cup, the challenge trophy inaugurated this season that tracks results including Varsity, JV, and Freshmen and is named after a beloved teacher who taught at both schools.
The teams for the 2025 Boys HS National Championships have been confirmed.
Twenty-four teams will compete in Elkhart, Ind. May 22, 23, and 24, with eight teams in Single-School Tier 1, eight teams in HS Club Tier 1, and eight teams in a combined Tier 2.
The seedings will be decided in the coming days by the HSNC Committee.
A few late scores fuel these rankings and some major shifts.
F5 moves up six spots and Golden Eagles move up seven thanks to their results at Nash Bash and the the Gonzaga Classic. We think that the top four are on one level and then there's a tier to about 14 or 15 after that.
But at #1 ... Charlotte Cardinals has hardly put a foot wrong.
We have some serious changes and that's what's so great about Spring Break time, because various tournaments and trips test teams and give us something cross-border-like to watch.
The Charlotte Cardinals won the Gonzaga Classic in dominant fashion.
After losing the final of this tournament by a slim margin a year ago, the Cardinals rolled in showing good form and showcasing a very quick and smart game plan.
They showed that early, shutting out Aspetuck and beating a pretty effective Fort Hunt sides 52-7.
