Can't even get the name or town right regarding North Kingstown..not sure where USA today gets their rankings.. 2 of those NH teams are D2..and all 3 NH teams have a loss (or tie)..

Nauset in MA isn't even Top 5 according to maxpreps

Good start for both North Kingstown teams though..

Yes, they are ranked by USA Today, however, do not think for a minute that these rankings are at all correct. What is this based on? USA has people scouting New England HS Soccer?
I call BS. I do not have a player on the boys side but this definitely does not appear to be a proper ranking regarding New England teams. Some outstanding teams that are better than 75% of what is listed that play in tougher divisions that are not listed.
I think it is safe to assume they are just going by records.

Utterly disgraceful. Those punks should be kicked off of their teams. In fact, they are probably the same spoiled future liberals who in future years will be championing the cause against racism.

Really classy Lasalle! If these kids are still on the team by next week, then the school may as well train them all to go work for the NFL!!!!

A complete disgrace. Hypocrisy at its highest. Not only should these kids be kicked off the team permanently, they should be expelled! I’m sure they will be back on the field after a 1-2 game suspension after it is “handled internally”. In my experience La Salle has some of the worst behaved players and parents in the state. The sense of entitlement is sickening. For once have the guts to practice what you supposedly preach and throw the book and these racist pigs.

I have not seen the video but read the details in the Journal. What I was surprised by (call me naive sorry) was La Salle's comment. You CANNOT handle a situation like this internally.
Where is the letter to the La Salle community regarding how wrong this is? Where is the letter of apology? What is the punishment? Lets hope La Salle suspends these boys for the season. (Perhaps from the School?) and RIIL should be weighing in as we have a clear CODE OF CONDUCT state wide that needs to be enforced. This behavior negatively effects every team esp. our student athletes of color who are watching to see what the adults in the room do.

Rankings

Rankings are done by the coach of the team. They simply send in their stats and make a case to be ranked. It is that simple. MB was ranked a couple of years ago #6 in the country when the coach REFUSED to play division one so they could sandbag D2. His reasoning was they "didn't know if they would be good going forward" They were forced up and doing just fine. Another beauty of a private having to play their recruits in the RIIL and then actually believe they are fairly competing.

Ranked R.I. HS teams

No surprise for Lasalle. It starts at the top with their Athletic Director and soccer coaches.

From the article...
He also said the school considered expulsion but it was taken off the table “due to the cooperation and support of the parents.”

I guess the parents opened up their check books.

RIIL Response is pathetic

From the Projo article. RIIL president Tom Mezzanotte states that this issue is a school issue not a league issue. Talk about failing in your duties to be a leader. I forget what fine high school did he graduate from?

But RIIL has rules and regs and every player sign's a Code of Conduct for RIIL.

Why are they signing if the RIIL will turn the other way?
