The AZ Compass Prep National [Chandler, AZ] Dragons haven't budged in their second stint as the No. 1 team in The Sporting News High School Boys Basketball Top 25, and it could be a while before they do.
The Dragons are off this week and guaranteed to hold down the top spot in next week's rankings before the EYBL Championship tournament tips off later in the week.
No. 5 SPIRE Academy [Geneva, OH] National's loss to the La Lumiere [La Porte, IN] Lakers dropped the Ohio squad down to No. 12 this week. They were highest-ranked team to lose, and it also opened up an opportunity for La Lumiere to return to the rankings in the No. 20 position.
Two other teams make their SN Top 25 debuts this week as the No. 24 Greensboro [NC] Day School Bengals and No. 25 Archbishop Riordan [San Francisco, CA] Crusaders join the party. Greensboro Day is fresh off winning North Carolina's NCISAA Class 3A state championship, and Archbishop Riordan is in action this Friday night in California's CIF Open Division Regional Semifinals.
