SUPER Top 25, HS Rankings By USA TODAY

There are over 20,000 high schools in the United States......getting on this top 25 is 50 times more difficult to get on than the college poll which only has about 350 teams. Roselle Catholic was #2 in America in early January, but is now at #28. This isn't one of New Jersey's better years, but I can remember when the Garden State had 4 teams on the Top 10 on a regular basis.
