The 6A Conference Boys Soccer Coaches Poll had a week of upheaval.
Five new teams entered the poll in week three as the coaches start to get a feel for what the 6A Conference has to offer this season.
Brophy remained the unanimous choice as the No. 1 team and Chandler remained in the No. 2 slot.
After that it pretty much was a whole new final eight as San Luis and Kofa came for the third and fourth most votes after missing out on the top 10 a week ago.
Pinnacle, Tucson and Rincon also made appearances in the top 10 this week.
“There is still a lot to be determined,” one coach said. “There are some tournaments coming up that should clear it up.”
No area teams found a way into the top 10 as Mesa fell out after losing 3-1 to San Luis early in the week.
A good week at the Mustang Soccer Classic after Christmas might move the Jackrabbits back into the next rankings.
Here is a look as to how it played out this week:
