Another week of high school invitationals in Texas led to a complete overhaul of the boys and girls state and regional rankings for Texas, which will mean a new look for Tuesday's SIMA FAB 50 rankings.

The big movers were Southlake Carroll (Southlake, Texas) and Plano West (Plano, Texas) on the boys side and Coppell (Texas) and Allen (Texas) on the girls side.

In other key weekly developments, Montverde Academy (Montverde, Fla.) completed a seventh straight undefeated season, pushing the program's undefeated streak to 157 matches, which will secure the state, region and SIMA FAB 50 No. 1 ranking for the winter. In California Livermore (Calif.) vaults to the top of the state rankings after desposing of the state's former No. 1-ranked team in a clash of undefeated programs.

The current state No. 1s for boys are Corona del Sol (Tempe, Ariz.), Godinez (Anaheim, Calif.), Montverde Academy (Montverde, Fla.), Mililani (Hawaii), St. Paul's (Covington, La.), Northwest Rankin (Flowood, Miss.) and Coppell (Texas). On the girls side, the state No. 1s are Perry (Gilbert, Ariz.), Livermore (Calif.), St. Johns Country Day (Orange Park, Fla.), Iolani (Honolulu, Hawaii), St. Scholastica (Covington, La.), Oxford (Miss.) and Southlake Carroll (Southlake, Texas).
