Notes
- Green Canyon jumps into the top 5 after upsetting Lone Peak to win the Utah State Championship! Both teams are set to compete at HSNI for a final battle in a great season series.
- Welcome to the top 25, Lexington and Harrington! Lexington took down the Pioneer Valley Invite, easily posting their best results of the season and setting up for an interesting Massachusetts state championship. Harrington topped Pennsbury at the Philly city championships: which team will come out on top at states — and can either of them touch #2 Wissahickon?
- Alameda once again showed up for the big playoff event and won California states to get back into the top 25.
- Summit beat Portland Waldorf at Oregon states before losing to South Eugene in the final.
- Jackson-Reed easily won the Virginia State Championships.
- Wooster won the Connecticut State Championships.

Notes
- Newton North was fantastic at PVI, winning the tournament over a number of club and combo teams from around the Northeast. They jump up into the top 10 after a great weekend.
- #1 Roosevelt topped #2 Lincoln to win the Washington State Championships: perhaps the teams will meet again in the final of HSNI!
- El Cerrito won the California State Championships to get back into the rankings.
- After taking a loss in pool play at the Virginia State Championships, Madison rallied on day two to take down the highly competitive tournament.
- Green Canyon won the Utah State Championships, though they dropped a pool play game to Lone Peak in their first loss of the season. Lone Peak didn’t reach the final.
- Needham had a nice showing at PVI, finishing 7th with bracket losses to Newton North and a club team from Montreal.
