Full article linked below. Here are the Top Ten:

1. Long Island Lutheran (N.Y.) 22-2
3. Etiwanda (Calif.) 32-3
3. Montverde Academy (Fla.) 24-4
4. Archbishop Mitty (Calif.) 30-1
5. IMG Academy (Fla.) 25-4
6. Sierra Canyon (Calif.) 31-3
7. Grayson (Ga.) 32-1
8. Morris Catholic (N.J.) 29-1
9. Hebron Christian (Ga.) 30-2
10. Duncanville (Texas) 35-4

Congrats to Coach Christina Raiti and a roster of exceptional players, many of whom are moving into D1 ranks next year, including: Kate Koval, Syla Swords and Kayleigh Heckel. Swords' sister, Savanna, is a 6'2" sophomore wing who will take over the leadership next year. She would be a prospect that, hopefully, Coach Niele Ivey and Asst. Coach Michaela Mabrey are already working on.




Nice!

My HS alma mater is #8 and their only loss was to LIL - pretty handily.
They also got smacked around pretty good by Hannah last year so feel that's a good sign!
Morris Catholic? And the Pauldo Twin Sisters?

Not tall, but awfully quick and talented. They're class of 2025, so I wonder where they'll end up next year.

My brother-in-law went to MC...
Yes

Good ol' MC Crusaders

I graduated in '90
LIL losing by 1 at the buzzer was a shocker. *

All American Team, Swords Heckel and Koval all started. The first time that a high school team has had three players selected and the fact that all three started gives you an inkling how good that team was.
Man. Who were the two teams they lost to? *
