St. Francis is arguably the best high school team on the East Coast. Last season they posted a 9-1 record and finished No. 10 in our Super 25 final in 2022. Meanwhile, Chaminade-Madonna went 13-1 and finished one spot higher.
St. John Bosco spent most of the season ranked second nationally, but a win over Mater Dei (Calif.) in November helped them climb to the top of the heap. They finished the 2022-23 season 13-1 and ranked first in the final Super 25 list. Meanwhile, St. Thomas Aquinas went undefeated at 14-0 and finished in the #6 spot.
