Five-Star Top 25: 16U: June 8, 2011

Quiet tournament schedule keeps rankings stagnant

Most teams didn't play this week, but there was plenty of action to follow as most teams sent players to camps to show off their skills against some of the best talent in the country. There may not have been a Top 25 shakeup this week, but don't expect it to stay that way with big events like Rumble in the Bronx on the horizon.
