According to Boston.com the top 20 Boys Soccer Team's in MAssachusetts are as follows:

1) Lexington
2) Framingham
3) New Bedford
4) Wilmington
5) Sandwich
6) Masconomet
7) Brockton
8) Canton
9) Reading
10) Hanover
11) North Andover
12) Duxbury
13) Catholic Memorial
14) Peabody
15) Cardinal Spellman
16) Lincoln-Sudbury
17) Nauset
18) Harwich
19) Brookline
20) Hopkinton

I do not know how accurate these rankings can be considering Peabody was not that good of a team this year. Masconomet lost a lot of talent last year as well. These rankings must be based on last years team and not on the team of 2009 becasue some of these teams should be ranked higher. For instance Catholic Memorial has a player supposedly going to Duke next year to play soccer. Also Danvers is a lot better than Peabody and should crack the top 20. Peabody was a much better team last year, so these rankings must be based on the quality of the 2008 team.

So Monday was my last soccer game of my high school career. I never thought the day would come so fast. I remember my freshmen year so vividly. I think we all take these four years for granted at some point. It is so bizarre to think that I'll never play GHS soccer again. The game was played at home vs. Danvers. They were a strong team. They were undefeated in our conference. They defeated us 1-0 on Monday in a very hard fought match. Before the game started the seniors presented their parents with flowers and took pictures with them. Their were a lot of fans that night. I could see an Italian flag being waved in the stands, from the field. I was sad after the game, but knew we played well. I shook hands and gave high fives to my teammates and told the juniors that the team was now theirs. I told them to keep the traditions of the team going and to keep fighting despite losing us seniors, and Coach Cook next season. I wish them luck in 2010.
