2013 New Jersey HS Rankings Poll - Week 2
Not much to say regarding the Top Ten and last weeks action, especially on the Boys side. None of the ranked teams went to the line among the men. Despite the lack of top end racing, a lot of teams did get their seasons going last weekend.
Despite the virtual bye week, there was still a little movement in the 7-10 slots with the Hornets of Holmdel HS joing the group, tied for the 10th berth with Southern Regional.

Things were a little different on the Girls side of the schedule as a few of the TOP TEN did get in some racing, resulting in some shifting of slots near the front. Action at the St. Dominc's Academy Invitational involved a number of ranked teams. In addition to the slight shift in some rankings, Seneca, joined the TOP TEN this week.
