National Preseason High School Top 100 Overview
by Alex Schwartz
The full National Preseason High School Top 100 has been released, and I will now provide a comprehensive overview of the list. In addition, you can view each of the rankings segments by clicking on
the links: 76-100, 51-75, 26-50, 11-25, and 1-10.
Below is the full list of the teams ranked in the top 100, as well as the 20 squads that were listed as honorable mentions. Keep in mind that prep schools were ineligible for the rankings. For these purposes, prep schools are defined as schools that have fifth-year players and/or post-grads, as well as all schools that play in the NEPSAC. That means that teams such as Arlington Country Day (FL), Brewster Academy (NC), Christ School (NC), Notre Dame Prep (MA), and Tilton School (NH) are ineligible.
