GRR: HS Rankings
We don't normally do this, but we're getting close to NIT seeding time and all of that, so we are producing a sneak preview of the Boys HS Rankings.
It takes us a long time to get all of the results from the 150 or so teams we're trying to track and we didn't want to wait for those wondering about the very top.
So here's what we have in terms of results among top-ten teams:
We shook things about a little bit in this week's HS Club Rankings. Weston, beating Naples soundly, moves way up. West Shore, Kingwood, LA, Santa Monica, and Peninsula Green all beat ranked teams. Hopkins beat a team we were expecting to rank, so they jump in at 19. We shuffled some California and North Carolina teams around.
We're back with the Boys single-school rankings after skipping a week (big playoff week and we just didn't get to it in time, and made the executive decision on Friday to wait). There's a little shift up top where Jesuit's loss to a very strong Granite Bay team and less-than-dominant win over Dixon inches them down behind a Penn squad that beat a very capable Notre Dame de La Salette.
With the cold-weather states getting going we will see a few more teams break into the HS Club Rankings. This week, a solid body of work gets Mississippi, KC Cougars, Kingswood, and Beaverton in. West Valley moves up one again thanks to another big result, this time beating United.
A relatively slow weekend as Easter put several teams on the sidelines. Several teams, such as Belmont HS, Union (Oregon), Capital and Mountain View out of Idaho, and Oklahoma's Bixby move in.
