I’d like to start off the rankings this week by welcoming Julius Randle back to action. He is a great kid and it is good to see that he has made a full recovery and can get a chance to defend Prestonwood Christian’s state title. As for the rankings there was not a lot of movement this week. Prime Prep continued its impressive season by beating Sunrise Christian Academy 73-45. The loss drops SCA from the rankings but it may be more a case of how good Prime Prep really is than that SCA is not one of the best 20 teams in the country. The other shake up this week is a result of a pair of games in Chicago. Whitney Young brings home the city title after beating Morgan Park in the finals. Morgan Park made us look good for ranking them last week though when they beat Simeon in the semifinals. The three Chicago teams have now beat each other this year and unfortunately Morgan Park is not in the same division with the other two so they won’t be able to use the state tournament to determine who is the best. Gonzaga is the lone new team in the rankings this week. The finished off the WCAC season with an undefeated record which is a good enough reason for them to be ranked.
