Rankings shakeup: Bartlett jumped into the Top 5 this week, debuting at No. 4 in the volleyball rankings. The Hawks bumped out Huntley. Both are Class 4A schools in volleyball.
The top-3 teams remained the same, but some shakeup could occur next week after No. 2 Central and No. 3 Hampshire tangle in a BNC East match on Wednesday. St. Edward holds strong at No. 5 because of its school size (Class 2A).
On the soccer side, both No. 1 Larkin and No. 2 Streamwood suffered defeats to Neuqua Valley and stay put at the top of the rankings. No. 3 St. Charles North and No. 4 St. Charles East get together on Saturday for 80 minutes of fun.
Note: Rankings are based on performance against like-sized schools.
