The Delaware powerhouse is the only school in the region to make the USA TODAY rankings.

At 14-3-1 last season, Sallies check in at No. 19 in the rankings of high school teams that contest boys soccer in the fall. Northern New Jersey power St. Benedict’s Prep tops the rankings after being ranked No. 2 overall in preseason rankings a year ago.

They host St. Benedict’s Prep on October 8 at a time and location to be announced.
