Everett at No. 10?

Everett debuts at No. 10 on the first rankings of the season.

Be still the hearts of all the Everett faithful. We're talking about ESPN's regional rankings here, not the Globe Top 20. You can rest assured you'll be a bit higher in the latter.

ESPN distributed its first polls of the season and Everett lands in the East rankings. Here's the full breakdown on the region:

1. DeMatha, Hyattsville, Md. (12-0)
2. Gateway, Monroeville, Pa. (6-5)
3. Central Catholic, Pittsburgh (10-2)
4. St. Anthony, South Huntington, N.Y. (11-0)
5. Liberty, Bethlehem, Pa. (14-2)
6. Don Bosco Prep, Ramsey, N.J. (12-0)
7. Upper St. Clair, Pittsburgh (16-0)
8. Good Counsel, Olney, Md. (10-2)
9. St. Peter's Prep, Jersey City, N.J. (11-1)
10. Everett, Mass. (12-0)

Only the top two teams in the East made ESPN's Super 25 National Rankings with DeMatha at No. 7 and Gateway at No. 15.
