WPIAL boys soccer rankings (October 1)

We’re now more than half way through the short high school season, and it’s time to look at which teams are leading the pack in WPIAL boys soccer — and some of their key results too.

There are only two schools in boys soccer that have unbeaten, and untied overall records, both are in Class 2A: Shady Side Academy (10-0) and Charleroi (11-0).

The other two schools which are unbeaten include: 4A – Plum (11-0-1); 3A – Franklin Regional (9-0-1).

That’s it. Parity is here folks!

In just two weeks, the regular season will come to a crashing halt, and the WPIAL’s Selection Committee will come together to complete the playoff brackets for each classification.  Who knows, maybe the Selection Committee will actually look at this, and we could be helpful with the seeding process.

We’ve offered a deeper look than the usual rankings lists. In addition, you can see which teams dropped out from our last rankings posted in mid-September. Look for one more posting of the rankings prior to the unveiling of the playoff brackets.

In addition, we’ll be sharing the playoff brackets after they’re released, and look for some additional coverage leading up to the WPIAL playoffs.
