boys basketball rankings

That time of the season has come, where the coaches/media rankings no longer matter, and the teams will ultimately decide which is really #1.

The coaches and media rankings have been a guide to determine which teams are contenders for the state championships, but in the end, it will be the teams themselves that will determine which ones will take home the trophies.

There was a pretty good shakeup in the bigger classes in the latest coaches/media rankings, thanks to last week's results.

There were some close votes in the latest coaches/media rankings, and there are 2 #1 vs. #2 matchups on this week's schedule...both of which are rematches from not long ago.

When an opponent is a ranked team according to the coaches and media, the action, atmosphere and intensity of the game tends to be bigger in February compared to January.

Those conference games can sometimes change a season, and the coaches/media rankings.

The latest coaches/media poll has put 2 former #1's back on top, as many teams are now into the conference portion of their schedules.

The new year starts with 3 new #1's in the latest coaches/media rankings.

Heading into the winter break, 2 teams receive an early gift from the coaches and media, in the form of being a new #1 ranked team, going into the New Year, while the other 2 maintain their top spot.

Some teams proved themselves of their early season rankings last weekend, and others impressed to the point that they are now in the latest coaches and media rankings.
