The Almanac-8 ranks the top eight teams in the Southwestern Indiana area. The poll is released twice a month during the soccer season.
|
| 1
| #4AA Memorial
| 4-0
| Memorial looks solid starting off the season. Is another state finals trip on the horizon?
| | 2
| #7AA Washington
| 5-0
| The Hatchets, who only just allowed their first goal of the season in a 5-1 victory, will be tough to beat in the Big 8.
| | 3
| North
| 7-0-1
| The Huskies are a playing like a cohesive unit, but can they survive upcoming tests against Memorial and Castle?
| | 4
| #9AA Castle
| 2-1-1
| After losing to some tough competition in St Louis area, it will be interesting to see how the Knights do against some local teams.
| | 5
| #1A Mater Dei
| 2-1
| Mater Dei hasnt beaten Memorial since 1988 but is refocused after floundering against the Tigers. The IN-KY Challenge this weekend will determine if the Wildcats deserve their #1 ranking
| | 6
| #4A Gibson Southern
| 4-0-1
| Gibson Southern is cruising and enjoying the new class alignment. The Titans also head to Hoosier Cup this weekend to defend their ranking.
| | 7
| Washington Catholic
| 6-0
| The Cardinals are kings of the Blue Chip, but they have yet to face any serious competition.
| | 8
| Jasper
| 3-2
| The record is not surprising considering the tough start to the schedule, but 0-7 to Colubmus North? What happened!?!?!? Hoosier Cup will be a good litmus test for the Wildcats.
|
Also worth noting:
Boonville,
Forest Park,
Vincinnes Lincoln,
South Spencer,
Bosse (already more wins than last year)
