The Australian women's Soccer team back in 2016, when they were ranked 5th in the world, lost to a boys under 15 team. I guess I shouldn't even call it "lost". More like decimated. 7 to 0.
Also, while not highschool kids; The Williams sisters used to talk mad smack when they were nearly unbeatable ranked 1 and 16 world tennis stars, and claimed they could beat any man ranked over 200.
Some guy ranked 203 took em up on it. Easily beat them both, playing them one after the other while he took smoke breaks a few times. Beating them 6-1 and 6-2.
The sisters then revised and said any man over 350th. The same guy said he was about to get dropped down to below 350 after his performances were updated from playing, so he jokingly offered them a rematch, but the sisters never tried playing another guy after that.
