*****The good people at CBS/MaxPreps.com have come up with the national high school rankings and here’s how things look, with a glance at the TOP high schools across our nation…Our friends at MaxPreps.com(Jim Stoudt) have laid it out and here is how it looked for the most recent school year….Cardinal Gibbons, out of Raleigh, is the TOP North Carolina high school in these rankings….*****
The CBS MaxPreps Cup national rankings are compiled by awarding schools points for finishing first or second at the state or association level. Points are also awarded for size of playoff division (championships won at the large-school level are worth more than championships at the small-school level); size of state (championships for Texas, for example, are worth more than championships for less-populous states like Alaska); and type of sport (football championships are worth more than tennis championships).
A variety of national rankings are also included in the tabulation of points.

*****Cardinal Gibbons has played Northern Guilford in football and the Greensboro Day School on numerous occasions, so I feel like we do have a bit of a Triad connection to/with them….*****
