Boys state-by-state rankings - Fall

October 13, 2009 1:48 AM

By Sheldon Shealer, editor

Pennsbury (Pa.) exacted a measure of revenge by defeating Council Rock North (Pa.) in a No. 1 vs. No. 2 battle in Pennsylvania.

Council Rock North had won the first meeting.

Pennsbury's victory vaults this District 1 team back to No. 1 in the state, where it started the season in the ESPN RISE state-by-state rankings.

Another big winner in this week's rankings is Sunset (Ore.), which jumped from No. 3 to No. 1 in Oregon after defeating former No. 1 Portland Jesuit (Ore.). In what is proving to be a very balanced year in Oregon -- full of draws and one-loss teams -- Sunset is among the last to be undefeated entering the stretch run.

The first team to finalize a place in the ESPN RISE state-by-state rankings list is O'Gorman (S.D.), which claimed its third straight state title over the week.

Today, we release the weekly ESPN Rise state-by-state rankings with the ESPN Rise FAB 50 to appear Tuesday afternoon on ESPNRise.com.

Boys state-by-state rankings - Fall

October 6, 2009 12:14 AM

By Sheldon Shealer, editor

There is very little question that Illinois soccer is among the nation's best when it comes to the boys' fall high school season.

In addition to the always highly competitive Chicago area, it was the Downstate schools -- Quincy and O'Fallon -- that made noise at the Gateway City Soccer Classic this past weekend that forced an expansion of the Illinois state rankings from five to seven teams. After all, O'Fallon, the new No. 6 in Illinois, beat two-time defending Missouri champ Rockhurst (Kansas City, Mo.) in the third-place match. Early in the tournament, O'Fallon surprised Cherry Creek (Greenwood Village, Colo.), which entered the contest undefeated and ranked among that state's best teams. O'Fallon lost in the semifinals to eventual champ and FAB 50 top 5 team St. Thomas Aquinas (Overland Park, Kan.). Quincy, meanwhile, advanced to the final where it lost to Aquinas 1-0 on a late goal. On the way to the final, Quincy also edged Rockhurst.

Since teams from eight states competed in the Gateway City Soccer Classic, it allows for a more fair comparison among programs from across state lines. Basically, the results -- pair with previous matches -- makes a connection point from New York to Colorado.

Today, we release the weekly ESPN Rise state-by-state rankings with the ESPN Rise FAB 50 to appear Tuesday afternoon on ESPNRise.com.

Scoreboard: Gateway kicks off with a surprise

October 2, 2009 4:35 AM

By Sheldon Shealer, editor

Three FAB 50 teams advanced to the semifinals of their bracket during Thursday's opening round of the Gateway City Soccer Classic for boys, but joining them is a team that no one expected to be there -- O'Fallon (Ill.).

In fact, O'Fallon was not scheduled to compete in the elite bracket until a late cancelation opened up a spot. Now, following a win over state-ranked Cherry Creek (Colo.), O'Fallon gets a shot at No. 7 St. Thomas Aquinas (Kan.). 

The following are reported Thursday scores from FAB 50 teams:

BOYS SCORES

No. 7 St. Thomas Aquinas (Kan.) 2, No. 38 St. John the Baptist (N.Y.) 0: Emilio Quezada and George Skevington scored header goals on corner kicks for Aquinas at the Gateway Classic.

No. 28 Rockhurst Jesuit (Mo.) 3, Grandview (Colo.) 2 (PKs): Rockhurst needed penalty kicks to dispatch Grandview in the first round at the Gateway Classic after Grandview tied the match in the final minute of regulation.

No. 47 Quincy (Ill.) 2, Rockwood Summit (Mo.) 0: Bronson Melvin and Zach Forbes scored as Quincy remained undefeated with a first-round win at the Gateway Classic.

GIRLS SCORES

No. 13 Mason (Ohio) 2, Lakota West (Ohio) 2: Lakota West's Alex Azeez scored on a direct kick from 25 yards out to tie Thursday's match of undefeated OIhio programs. Devan Ciotti gave Lakota West (9-0-4) a 1-0 lead before Mason's Annie Beard tied the score in the first half. Mason (8-0-1) went ahead 2-1 on a goal by Chelsea VanHook before settling on the draw.

Boys state-by-state rankings - Fall

September 15, 2009 5:07 AM

By Sheldon Shealer, editor

Ludlow (Mass.) and Rockhurst Jesuit (Kansas City, Mo.) returned to familiar positions this week -- ranked No. 1 in their respective states.

A third-place finish by Chaminade (St. Louis, Mo.) at the Great Midwest Classic allowed for Rockhurst and Chaminade to swap places in the ESPN RISE state rankings. Rockhurst is riding an 18-match shutout streak. These teams remain on course to meet later this fall.

Ludlow takes over the No. 1 spot after former No. 1 Framingham opened the season with a draw.

There were no other No. 1 changes in the 12 largest fall-playing states this week. However, Westview (Portland, Ore.) and Las Cruces (N.M.) took over the top billing in their states.

Today, we release the weekly ESPN Rise state-by-state rankings with the ESPN Rise FAB 50 to appear Tuesday afternoon on ESPNRise.com.

Familiar names highlight Starting XI honorees

July 13, 2009 2:12 PM

U.S. Soccer

U.S. Soccer unveiled the 2008-09 Development Academy Starting XI honorees as the fourth day of Finals Week is set to kick off at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., Monday. The awards, which will be followed by Coach and Player of the Year announcements later this week, were voted upon by Development Academy clubs and U.S. Soccer National Staff Coaches.

Both the U-15/16 and U-17/18 Starting XI teams are made up mostly of players who have experience at the U-17, U-18 and/or U-20 Men's National Team level. The 22 players represent 21 different clubs, as only Arsenal FC has two players receiving the honor as Ricardo Hernandez in the U-15/16 age group and Norberto Ochoa, a U-17/18 player, represent Arsenal FC.

The U-15/16 Starting XI honorees include 10 players who were part of the Development Academy Select Teams that matched up with the U.S. U-17 Men's National Team at the Spring Showcase held earlier this year. Four players from that event, Keith Cardona, Marquez Fernandez, Riley Wolfe and Victor Chavez were part of U.S. U-17 MNT head coach Wilmer Cabrera's 30-player training camp held in Greensboro, N.C., in conjunction with Development Academy Playoffs.

AJ Corrado is in his second season of the Development Academy U-15/16s and gained fans throughout the country last season when he scored the game-winning goal to lift Carmel United to the inaugural U-15/16 championship game live on ESPNU. Though he spends the majority of his time in his true age group, he was invited by the U-17/18 Carmel United squad to participate in the team's quest through the 2008-09 Finals Week.

Cardona, a goalkeeper, is the only other U-15/16 honoree present at Finals Week, as he has helped his U-15/16 New York Red Bulls team to an 18-4-7 regular season record and one of the top seeds during Academy Playoffs.

Hernandez, Fernandez (Baltimore Bays Chelsea), Torey McGaw (Mustang) and Bryan de la Fuente (Chivas USA) make up the defenders on the Starting XI squad. Wolfe (Los Angeles Galaxy) and Corrado are joined in the midfield by Joseph Schmid. Chavez, Zak Foxhoven (Colorado Rush) and FC Dallas' Ruben Luna, who led the entire Academy with an astounding 38 goals in 27 games, round out the 11 player list as forwards.

In the older group, three Starting XI recipients are at The Home Depot Center participating with their teams at Finals Week. Coincidentally, all three players – IMG's Larry Jackson, Real Colorado's Taylor Kemp and PDA's Ryan Finley – have helped their respective teams to one win and one draw through two games so far in Carson.

Dillon Powers (Andromeda), Andrew Wenger (PA Classics) and Matt Wiet (Crew Soccer Academy) recently returned from a trip to Egypt with the U.S. U-20 Men's National Team.

Along with Wiet and Kemp, Anthony Arena (Crossfire Premier) and Daniel Villegas (Miami FC Kendall) earned Starting XI honors as defenders. Powers, Wenger and Ochoa were honored in midfield and Finley, Rodolfo Godinez (Nomads) and Will Bates (Richmond Strikers) make up the forward contingent. Jackson is the team's goalkeeper.

U-15/16 Development Academy Starting XI
