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.

Council Rock North (Pa.) was the big winner this week, moving from No. 2 to No. 1 in the Pennsylvania rankings after posting a 2-0 victory against former No. 1 Pennsbury (Pa.) last week.

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.
