BIG MOVERS: BOYS: Olathe East (Olathe, Kan.). This time of year, the undefeated teams start to que up in the SIMA FAB 50, and Olathe East jumps from No. 22 to No. 7 this week. Olathe East's move happens on the heels of strong showings by the Kansas No. 2- and 3-ranked teams at the Gateway City Soccer Classic. The real meat of Olathe East schedule is yet to come, but a perfect season likely will put this team in the running for a Top 5 finish. GIRLS: Commack (Commack, N.Y.). Commack vaulted from No. 34 to No. 22 as a result of two important Long Island matches. First, Commack defeated Ward Meville in overtime, handing its league rival its first defeat. Also, St. John the Baptist defeated former Top 25-ranked St. Anthony's last week, which was significant for Commack since it had defeated St. John the Baptist 3-0 early in the season.

NEWCOMERS: BOYS: No. 8 West Orange (West Orange, N.J.), No. 22 Louisville Trinity (Louisville, Ky.), No. 33 Covington Catholic (Covington, Ky.), No. 35 Schaumburg (Schamuburg, Ill.), No. 36 Quincy (Quincy, Ill.), No. 39 Collinsville (Collinsville, Ill.), No. 40 Chaminade (Creve Coeur, Mo.), No. 47 ThunderRidge (Highlands Ranch, Colo.), No. 49 Medina (Medina, Ohio) and No. 50 Salesianum (Wilmington, Del.). GIRLS: No. 27 Summit (Bend, Ore.), No. 30 Independence (Thompson's Station, Tenn.), No. 31 Northport (Northport, N.Y.), No. 38 Mounds View (Arden Hills, Minn.), No. 40 Walt Whitman (Bethesda, Md.), No. 41 Canon-McMillan (Canonsburg, Pa.), No. 48 Archbishop Ryan (Philadelphia, Pa.) and No. 50 Goshen (Goshen, N.Y.).

THIS WEEK: BOYS: Salesianum slips into No. 50 just time time for its annual showdown with No. 1 St. Benedict's Prep (Newark, N.J.). This will be a key test since Salesianum's lone loss is to No. 22 Louisville Trinity (Ky.). GIRLS: Two matches are scheduled this week where the outcomes could drastically alter the Top 5. No. 3 Montclair (Montclair, N.J.) takes on top-ranked Northern Highlands (Allendale, N.J.) in a non-league match, while No. 4 Montgomery (Santa Rosa, Calif.) looks for a second win of the season over No. 13 Maria Carrillo (Santa Rosa, Calif.).
