Great American ROC entries |
Pre-season US#1 teams in Marc Bloom's Harrier Super 25 rankings are Saratoga Springs NY girls and York Elmhurst IL boys.
Saratoga has been #1 nine of the last 11 years, but faces a serious challenge this year from Smoky HIll Aurora CO, like Saratoga boasting two returning Foot Locker national finalists.
York, returning to national power with coach Joe Newton's best team since the Don Sage-led teams of the late 1990s, is picked to bump last year's top team, The Woodlands TX, down to #2. DyeStat has the complete Super 25 list this year, thanks to The Harrier. |
