2012 POWERADE FAB 50 Spring Boys Rankings
#1 Irmo, 11-0 - When Irmo returns from spring break next week, it faces its greatest challenge to a No. 1 ranking -- playing No. 38 Northwestern, Christ Church, No. 6 Cardinal Newman and No. 19 Norman North (Norman, Okla.) on consecutive days at the Palmetto Cup.
#6 Cardinal Newman, 10-0 - Cardinal Newman defeated South Aiken 3-2 last week in a battle of nationally ranked undefeated teams.
