Two New England high school soccer programs earned spots in the United Soccer Coaches' national preseason Top 10 rankings.
The St. John's Prep (Mass.) boys landed fifth in the rankings, while the Scarborough (Maine) High School girls found themselves at the No. 3 spot nationally. Scarborough and St. John's Prep also appeared in the end-of-season rankings in 2022.
According to both teams' coaches, while the honor is flattering, they are more focused on where they rank at the end of the season in their state.
