Everybody has an opinion, but is there a way to get that information based on any sort of data?
There is.
Below is a list of the schools that charted in both of the Chicagoland Soccer Final 50 state-wide rankings at the end of the boys and girls seasons.
It's based on a simple points system: 50 for the top-ranked team in either poll; 49 for the second; etc.
Twenty-one schools charted in each poll. Which topped the list? Look below.
Key: R-overall ranking; 2021 ranking; GR-girls ranking for '21-'22 school year; BR-boys ranking for '21-'22 school year; W-L-T-combined record; Points-combined points.
