A new No. 1 in Georgia high school girls soccer today will mean a new SIMA FAB 50 Spring No. 1 on Tuesday.

Harrison (Kennesaw, Ga.) had its win streak halted at 39 matches in a playoff loss to Grayson (Loganville, Ga.). Interestingly, Harrison and Grayson, which met for last year's state title, were the preseason No. 1 and 2 teams in Georgia and both started the season ranked in the SIMA FAB 50 Top 5. Harrison had spent the entire season at No. 1 in the SIMA FAB 50, a run that will end Tuesday.

The loss by Harrison was not the only for top-ranked girls teams. SIMA FAB 50 No. 3 Blue Valley Northwest (Overland Park, Kan.) lost to nationally ranked St. Thomas Aquinas (Overland Park, Kan.), which will reshuffle the Kansas state rankings. Naperville North (Naperville, Ill.) fell to nationally ranked Wheaton North (Wheaton, Ill.), returning the state's No. 1 ranking to New Trier (Winnetka, Ill.).

Blue Valley Southwest (Overland Park, Kan.), Cheyenne East (Cheyenne, Wyo.), Marist School (Atlanta, Ga.), South Anchorage (Anchorage, Alaska) and Walled Lake Northern (Commerce Township, Mich.) are new state No. 1s this week in girls soccer.

The only new state No. 1s for spring boys soccer came when the Nos. 1 and 2 spots swapped places in Alabama and Washington. Oak Mountain (Birmingham, Ala.) regained the top spot in Alabama after beating former No. 1 Bob Jones (Madison, Ala.) en route to a state title. Tahoma (Covington, Wash.) overtook Camas (Camas, Wash.) after Camas tied a match last week.
