15U Summer Power Rankings: Week 11: June 27, 2012

The City still No. 1 after 16U loss

It was a tough call keeping The City at No. 1 this week after they lost to a 16U team. In the end, however, they've proven themselves continuously against older competition, and that needs to be taken into account. Things might be different if the teams right behind them in the rankings played this week, but The City still looks like the best 15U team on the circuit. For now.
