The Des Moines Hoover soccer team finds itself back in the latest Iowa high school boys soccer rankings.

The Huskies held the No. 1 spot in Class 3A before forfeiting eight games due to the use of an ineligible player. The Iowa High School Athletic Association dropped Hoover out of the Top 10 completely for one week, returning them at No. 8.

Since those series of forfeits, the Huskies have shown they are one of the top teams in the state. They played No. 2 (4A) Des Moines Roosevelt to a 2-1 loss, had a draw with 10th-ranked (4A) Des Moines Lincoln and dropped back-to-back 2-1 decisions to No. 3 (4A) Ames and top-ranked (4A) West Des Moines Valley.

Here are the latest Iowa high school boys soccer rankings from the Iowa High School Athletic Association:
