Published: April 9, 2012
Little movement this week; only a few teams in action. Comments follow only those who played matches last week.
Boys
1, Gyeonggi Suwon International, South Korea (8-0).
2, Christian Academy Japan (2-0).
3, Nile C. Kinnick, Japan (10-1-1).
4, Seoul Foreign (8-1-1): That loss to Seoul American = an absolute stunner.
5, Seoul American (8-4-1): Jay Han’s return IS making all the difference.
6, Matthew C. Perry, Japan (17-2-1).
7, Yongsan International-Seoul (6-2-2): Still competitive, but not the powerhouse it once was, at least not now.
8, Kadena, Okinawa (2-1).
9, Seoul International (4-5-1): Fairly uneven week, but still in the elite 10.
10, Zama American (4-5-4): See Seoul International.
Girls
1, Seoul Foreign (10-0).
2, Kubasaki, Okinawa (5-0): Need more matches with Japanese teams to hone game to fine edge.
3, Nile C. Kinnick, Japan (10-1-1).
4, Yokota, Japan (7-3) 7-1 in last eight matches entering break.
5, Seoul American (5-3-3): Up-and-down week for Falcons.
6. Guam High (2-0-0): Kinnick’s Kaile Johnson (27 goals) may be looking over her shoulder after awhile; Panthers’ Tayler Kukes has six goals in two matches; she and Jaelyn Freeman have 10 combined.

8, Matthew C. Perry, Japan (9-4-1).
9, Taejon Christian International, South Korea (5-2-2).
10, Gyeonggi Suwon International, South Korea (4-2-1).
(tie), Zama American, Japan (7-4-3): If Rachel Walls can return before end of season, this rating will be a lot higher.
There’s been very little talk about these ratings. Think they’re full of y0u-know-what? Shout it out! Be true to your school, but remember: You’ve entered THE “No-Hate Zone.”
