Girls state-by-state rankings - Fall  October 13, 2009 2:09 AM By Sheldon Shealer, editor The race for No. 1 in Ohio is heating up and it appears any of the current ESPN RISE state-by-state Top 7 teams in the state could very well walk away with the Division 1 title. The top four teams -- Strongsville, St. Ursula, Walsh Jesuit and Medina -- remain the frontrunners. This week, Walsh Jesuit and St. Ursula swap spots to move Walsh Jesuit next to Medina, the team it tied last week. In the most bizarre result of the week, a contest between Villa Joseph Marie (Pa.) and Strath Haven (Pa.) was halted while tied 1-1 late in the first half. VJM pulled its players from the field when there was no trainer to tend to an injured player, according to published reports. The reports indicated VJM coach Rick Finneyfrock thought it was a state rule that the home team -- in this case Strath Haven -- must have a trainer present for the match, thus he refused to continue the match. It was later learned that having a trainer present is merely strongly encouraged, but not a state rule. VJM could be required to forfeit the match, but it was unclear if Strath Haven would pursue such an avenue. Finneyfrock said he is willing to replay the match or pick it up from where it was halted. For the time being, ESPN RISE is listing the match as a draw, although that will change depending on what the schools decide to do with the contest. If the match is not continued or replayed, the most likely outcome would be striking the result from the record, unless VJM is required to forfeit. 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 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.

Breaking news: PIAA girls soccer move put on hold  October 9, 2009 5:15 PM By Sheldon Shealer A move of all Pennsylvania high school girls' soccer to the fall season will be delayed for two years, a source close to the situation told ESPN RISE on Friday. Officials from the PIAA office could not be reached for comment. However, the organization did release a statement Friday indicating that the move, originally planned for the 2010-2011 school year, was going to be pushed back to the fall of 2012, largely to give schools time to budget for the change and address facility, staffing and scheduling issues. Pennsylvania schools are split between fall and spring soccer with each season offering a state playoff system. The PIAA Board voted two months ago to move the roughly 200 girls spring-playing programs to the fall in a move that was supposed to take place next school year. The Harrisburg Patriot-News said thevote passed by a 30-0 margin to delay the move. The PIAA confirmed an unanimous decision on the matter. Soccer, PA, PIAA

Girls state-by-state rankings - Fall  October 6, 2009 12:26 AM By Sheldon Shealer, editor The East Coast shuffle took place last week thanks in large part to the Downingtown West (Downingtown, Pa.) vs. Pennington Prep (Pennington, N.J.) match, which ended in a 3-3 draw.

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. (Rankings through matches played as of Sunday, Oct. 4) Top 10s New York: 1. Arlington (8-0-0), 2. Chaminade (8-1-1), 3. McQuaid Jesuit (10-0-1), 4. St. John the Baptist (8-2-0), 5.
