The soccer season is back in full swing and the top boys soccer teams are beginning to emerge. Most of the teams were in the mix at the end of the season last year, but some of the teams are up-and-coming and looking to make a move toward the top of their respective classifications.

Defending champions debut at the top of the rankings across six of the seven classifications, save Class A where Whitefield Academy lost team leaders to graduation and debuts at the No. 3 spot. After last season, where not one champion defended its crown, a new batch of champions emerged and will look to continue their rise into this year.
