Sacred Heart and Saint Anthony's should be able to give most teams in Nassau and Suffolk a run for their money.Have to show the Catholic's a little love.

The Catholic High Schools are ranked outside of the public schools as you probably know. Generally speaking, the local rankings seem to be pretty clear.

Girls Catholic High Schools

1. St. Anthony's
2. Sacred Heart
3. Kellenberg
4. St. John the Baptist
5. Our Lady of Mercy
6. Holy Trinity
7. St. Mary's
8. St. Dominic's

The ranking gap between St. Anthony's and Sacred Heart is much larger than the gap from Sacred Heart back to the rest of the field.

St. Anthony's would be competitive with all the top Nassau and Suffolk teams. Being fair, Sacred Heart is probably competitive with the fifth ranked teams and downward across the two counties.
