With the 18s wrapping up their season, we saw plenty of movement in the latest update. We also saw a new No. 1 take over the top spot in the most recent 17s rankings update. However, there is no change at the top when it comes to the 16s division. The No. 1 position remains occupied by 1st Alliance 16 Gold, which recently added the Lone Star Classic gold medal to its collection. Drive Nation 16 Red and Surfside 16 PV Legends remain Nos. 2 and 3 behind 1st Alliance, while Hou Skyline 16 Royal climbed one spot and HJV 16 Elite leapfrogged Arizona Storm 16 Thunder to round out the Top 5. While the powerhouses have been clear to identify, the 16s division has shown a large amount of parity when it comes to filling out the Top 50. There are around 25-30 teams which could fill out the final 10 spots and that’s something to watch for as the season nears its conclusion.
