For a state like Texas, the high school season is well under way as certain schools have played 30 matches or more after an opening month of tournament play. The majority of states are two weeks into their seasons and are just starting to gear up. There is also a few big national tournaments left featuring Louisville Invitational (this coming weekend), the Durango Fall Classic (Sept. 16-17), Asics Challenge (Sept. 30-Oct. 1) and the Nike TOC Southwest (Sept. 1-Oct. 1). Results from those events are sure to influence and shake up our nationals rankings, but for now we introduce our initial Top 50 High School Rankings.
