HS: Fall state, region rankings, Sept. 21

by Sheldon Shealer

September 21, 2015

It was another week of interstate rivalries, and several results helped shape this week's regional rankings.

Take for example:

* St. Benedict's Prep (Newark, N.J.) traveled to suburban Philadelphia and defeated Haverford School (Haverford, Pa.) 2-0 to reinforce its No. 1 boys ranking;

* Louisville Trinity (Louisville, Ky.) moved up in this week's boys regional rankings following a victory over Salesianum (Wilmington, Del.), which was coming off a win over St. Xavier (Louisville, Ky.);

* Jesuit (Carmichael, Calif.) slipped from the boys West No. 1 spot following a 1-1 showing in Oregon, where it defeated state No. 1 Lincoln (Portland, Ore.) after losing to state No. 4 Grant (Portland, Ore.);

* Somers (Lincolndale, N.Y.) maintained its No. 2 New York girls ranking and aided its SIMA FAB 50 cause with a 1-0 win over Immaculate Heart Academy (Township of Washington, N.J.);

* McDonogh School (Owings Mills, Md.) strengthened its case for SIMA FAB 50 No. 1 with an 8-1 thrashing of former SIMA FAB 50 Top 25-ranked Magnificat (Rocky River, Ohio).

Those were just a handful of key high school results from the past week that played a role in this week's rankings.
