HS: Rankings are on pause in light of virus

Almost all of the high school soccer play has been shut down in the wake of the covid-19 pandemic.

This week's winter and spring state and regional rankings reflect the few matches played last week. It is likely the rankings may sit unchanged for the next two weeks.

Here's a look at the key happenings:

Spring Soccer

* Six spring-playing states have paused competition until the end of March. Five other states have paused until at least April 6. Seven states are leaving the decision to play up to the local/county jurisdiction.

* As for contests that were played last week, Oak Mountain (Ala.) girls took over the state's No. 1 ranking after a victory over defending champ Vestavia Hills (Ala.). ... Riverside (S.C.) girls take over the regional No. 1 spot, ahead of Heritage (N.C.), following a draw by Heritage last week. Riverside won its match last week. ... Jenks (Okla.) boys are back to No. 1 in the state and regional rankings after Springdale (Ark.) knocked off former state and region No. 1 Broken Arrow (Okla.). ... Huntsville (Ala.) boys regains the state's No. 1 ranking.

Winter Soccer

* Texas, the last remaining winter-playing state still in action, announced a two-week pause to its high school sports, pushing back the end of the winter season to early May.
