16U Power Rankings: Week 11: June 27, 2012

Minor shifts and a new No. 1 as July approaches

One of the few changes to this week's rankings is a new No. 1 team in the 16U age group. Team SCAN won the A-Game tournament without Chris McCullough, while Team Takeover was off this week. This gave SCAN that extra boost to claim the No. 1 spot.
