Late season upsets expelled previously unbeaten Midwest City (OK) and Roosevelt (DC) from this week’s rankings, and Montrose Christian (MD) and Morgan Park (IL), are recognized instead.

In that respect, there is some [...]

The astute observer will notice minimal changes from last week’s Hoopniks Terrific 30, presented by Krossover, as many squads have completed their regular seasons, and are facing weaker opponents in the opening rounds of their respective state and area tournaments.

The anticipated showdown between two top-5 ranked teams from last week’s rankings wasn’t exactly as planned, as last week’s No. 2 St. Benedict’s Prep (NJ) took some of the luster off of their game against previously No. 5 ranked St. Anthony (NJ), by losing earlier in the week to Blair Academy (NJ). St. Benedict’s Prep recovered admirably, though, has [...]

To date, the vast majority of the current members of the Hoopniks Terrific 30, presented by Krossover, are quite battle tested. With that said, there’s little doubt that the resume’s of No. 2 St. Benedict’s Prep (NJ) and No. 5 St. Anthony (NJ) currently do not stack up with their peers. That will change on Friday, as the two Jersey’s [...]

It was a huge weekend in national high school boys basketball, with perhaps as many changes and movement in the Hoopniks Terrific 30, presented by Krossover, as has been seen all season long. It was a week that didn’t go the way that last week’s No. 1 Montverde Academy (FL) might have expected it would. They not [...]
