      At the time of The Washington Post’s initial rankings, St. Mary’s (Annapolis) had recently knocked off Georgetown Prep in a back-and-forth, 17-13 battle. The Little Hoyas have dropped just one game since, an 11-10 overtime loss against Haverford (Pa.), which is ranked in the top 10 in several national polls.

      Prep, last year’s Interstate Athletic Conference runner-up, has outscored its opponents 137-49 during its current 10-game winning streak, recently earning dominant wins over Interstate Athletic Conference foes St. Stephen’s/St. Agnes, Landon, St. Albans and Episcopal. The Little Hoyas, who face Bullis in a rematch of the 2022 title game Tuesday, hold the top spot in our midseason rankings.

      St. John’s, which pulled out an 11-10 win at No. 3 Gonzaga on Friday, is ranked No. 2 as it looks to defend its Washington Catholic Athletic Conference title. The Cadets have won 11 of their past 12 games, the lone blemish being a 10-8 loss to St. Anthony’s (N.Y.), the No. 1 team in the country according to multiple national polls.
