Is Trinity deserving of their national rankings?

Does Trinity deserve it’s top five rankings in the major high school soccer polls.

They beat X. X tied St. Ignatius at their place. On top of that, they have an All American forward and multiple members of one of the best club teams in the country. They deserve it.

Not saying Trinity is or is not deserving, no real way of knowing for certain until the top 50, top 100 whatever or so teams start playing one another or at least play common opponents. That is the problem with a national rank of HS teams in any sport if the teams never play each other. How do you know how a HS team from KY, OH, IN, (name the state) ranks against a HS team from CA, TX, NY, FL, (name the state) etc, etc if they never play each other nor play common opponents?
