GametimeCT boys soccer power rankings, week 4 (Oct. 6): Avon joins the Top 10
Avon joins a top 10 dominated by the FCIAC and CCC.
Welcome to the fourth week of GametimeCT's boys soccer power rankings. This week saw Avon (7-0-1) make a significant leap into the Top 10, joining previously ranked No. 9 East Hartford, which has now fallen to No. 6. Avon's rise is part of a seven-game winning streak that began after their season opening 1-1 draw against Conard.
Currently, No. 1 Staples and No. 2 Greenwich remain at the top of the rankings. The two teams are set to face each other in an upcoming rivalry match, which will be the first time they've met this season after previously competing against each other in both the FCIAC and Class LL championships last year.
Xavier, the only top 10 team from the SCC, has moved up one spot to No. 3 and remains undefeated. In the No. 4-6 spots, there was some movement among CCC teams. Glastonbury claimed the No. 4 spot after defeating Tolland, while Tolland moved up to No. 5 following a win against South Windsor. South Windsor fell to No. 6, where they will face Glastonbury again on Wednesday.
Stamford and Trumbull continue to hold steady at No. 7 and No. 9, respectively. It's important to note that this ranking is not a media poll or a Connecticut coaches poll; it is determined by boys soccer writer Will Aldam each week.
