Although California has completed winter-season play, that doesn't mean those teams' final ranking is set.

There is still another month of competition in Texas that could influence the ranknigs in upcoming weeks.

In fact, it's likely teams just outside the SIMA FAB 50 Top 25 will sneak into the Top 25 by season's end if highly ranked Texas teams faltered in the postseason.

This past week, the Southern California Regional championship results helped give a major bump to San Diego girls programs, which won the Division II and III titles and placed second on penalty kicks in Division I.

The big winner in this week's winter girls ranking was Santiago/Corona (Corona, Calif.), which moves up to No. 7 in this week's SIMA FAB 50 after adding the SCR Division I crown to its Southern Section Division II title earned a week earlier.

The boys side, Cathedral (Los Angeles, Calif.) locked up the state's No. 1 ranking and will finish no lower than No. 5 -- and mostly likely in the Top 3 -- in this year's SIMA FAB 50. Interestingly, if Coppell (Coppell, Texas) wins the Texas 5A title, there is a chance that Montverde Academy (Montverde, Fla.), Coppell, Cathedral could finish 1-2-3, which was the order those teams finished at the Montverde Academy Soccer Tournament in January.

Moving to spring play, there was no change among the top teams in either the boys or girls rankings with Wando (Mount Pleasant, S.C.) boys and Harrison (Kennesaw, Ga.) holding the top spots. 

Expect change next week as several spring-playing states start this week, and any preseason hype will be replaced by actual results. An area ripe for ranking change is Virginia, where several top girls players have decided against playing high school soccer this spring.
