KSCA releases eighth boys' soccer rankings

Two teams remained at the same rank as last week, No. 1 Blue Valley Northwest and No. 10 Olathe South. Every other team either debuted or changed ranking. The fall of Bishop Miege from No. 2 to No. 6 this week means St. Thomas Aquinas moved up to No. 2 from No. 3 and Olathe East jumped two spots no. No. 3 McPherson moved into the top 10 in the all-class rankings at No. 8 after not being ranked last week.

Topeka Washburn Rural fell to the No. 4 spot as Olathe East became the second-ranked team in 6A and Shawnee Mission East moved up one spot to the No. 3-ranked team in the class.

St. Thomas Aquinas is now the top-ranked team in 5A, bumping Bishop Miege down to No. 2. Salina Central, St. James Academy and Bishop Carroll all remained the third, fourth and fifth-ranked teams in 5A.

McPherson became the top-ranked team in 4-1A, moving up from No. 3 last week. It leap-frogged both KC Christian and Topeka Hayden, teams that now sit at Nos. 2 and 3, respectively. Rose Hill and Baldwin are now the fourth and fifth ranked teams in the class.
