1. Columbus (Fla.)

Previous Ranking: No. 1
It’s been more of the same for Columbus, as it leans on one of the most talented rosters in the nation. Twin Duke signees Cameron and Cayden Boozer remain dominant, and the same can be said for junior forwards Caleb Gaskins and Jaxon Richardson. Now 22-3 on the year, the Explorers have won 10 games in a row and will be a favorite to win Nationals.

2. Harvard-Westlake (Calif.)

Previous Ranking: No. 2
Now 27-1, Harvard-Westlake continues to thrash its competition in the Golden State. Duke small forward signee Nikolas Khamenia heads what’s been one of the top programs in the nation all season long. The Wolverines’ winning streak is nearing 20 games following a 23-point win over La Mirada last week. They’ll be a tough, tough out in the postseason.

3. Roosevelt (Calif.)

Previous Ranking: No. 4 (+1)
Top uncommitted combo guard Brayden Burries is a scoring machine and has powered Roosevelt to a 27-2 record to this point. The Mustangs defeated Heritage Christian 74-57 last time out and have now won five in a row following a tight loss to top-10 Gonzaga (D.C.) last month. Roosevelt will be tested to close the season but have the potential to finish atop the Golden State standings.

4. William J. Brennan (Texas)

Previous Ranking: No. 3 (-1)
Behind Houston point guard signee Kingston Flemings, William J. Brennan continues to look like one of the top offenses in the nation. The Bears’ last five games have seen them tally 123, 109, 89, 94 and 90 points. They now sit at 29-2 heading into postseason play.

5. Allen (Texas)

Previous Ranking: No. 6 (+1)
Allen is now 31-1 on the season and continues to lurk right behind William J. Brennan for the top spot in the Texas rankings. The Bears are still the lone team to defeat the Eagles so far this season. Allen has eclipsed 80 points in each of its last eight games.

6. Hoover (Ala.)

Previous Ranking: No. 5 (-1)
The Sweet 16 begins on Monday in Alabama and Hoover looks like the clear favorite, still undefeated at 32-0. The Buccaneers continue to wallop their opponents on both sides of the ball and will begin their quest to a state title against Albertville. Hoover’s defense has been one of the best in the nation all season long.

7. Perry (Ariz.)

Previous Ranking: No. 7
Still the lone team in Arizona ranked in the national top 25, Perry continues to roll behind elite uncommitted Five-Star Plus+ power forward Koa Peat, one of the top prospects in the nation. Since losing to top-ranked Columbus, the Pumas have won seven in a row and are now 23-2 overall.

8. Paul VI Catholic (Va.)

Previous Ranking: No. 8
Paul VI Catholic has maneuvered well through a rigid schedule, taking on many of the other top programs in and around the DMV. Now 23-4 on the season, the Panthers continue to own a top-10 national ranking thanks to the likes of Junior five-star shooting guard Jordan Smith Jr. and senior power forward Jaquan Womack.

9. Gonzaga (D.C.)

Previous Ranking: No. 9
Gonzaga is now 24-3 on the season following a a hefty win over Bishop O’Connell last weekend. With a mammoth tilt against ranked DeMatha Catholic on tap this week, the Eagles, led by North Carolina combo guard signee Derek Dixon, have a chance to add another quality win to an already-impressive résumé.

10. Montverde Academy (Fla.)

Previous Ranking: No. 10
Montverde Academy rounds out the top 10 once again, now 18-4 this season. The Eagles are loaded with top talent and will continue to challenge Columbus for the top spot in Florida, behind the likes of Florida four-star SG commit CJ Ingram, Creighton four-star SG signee Hudson Greer and elite junior four-star SG Kayden Allen.
