KSCA releases seventh boys' soccer rankings

A few movements took place in this week’s boys’ soccer rankings, but not in the all-class ranks. The top six teams remained the same from week six. Blue Valley Northwest and Bishop Miege held onto the top two spots, respectively. Topeka Hayden moved up to No. 7 in the state. Wichita North and Olathe South find themselves back in the top 10. Salina Central moves from a non-ranking to the No. 8 spot on the week.

Wichita North is the only ‘newcomer’ in the top five in 6A. North has bounced in and out of the top five all season. The top four of BV Northwest, Topeka Washburn Rural, Olathe East and Shawnee Mission East remained in the same top four spots, respectively.

Salina Central moved into the third-ranked spot, and bumped St. James Academy down from No. 3 to No. 4 in 5A. The same top five stayed in the same rankings from week six to this week.
