<h5>The NCISAA regular season is entering the final week before conference tournaments. Here's a look at the latest Top 10, including a new team at number 1.</h5> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h5>10. Cape Fear Academy (16-3)</h5> <p><strong>Last Rank: N/R</strong></p> <p>Cape Fear Academy is the newest team in the latest edition of NCISAA Top 10 Power Rankings as they're riding a 10-game winning streak. Unsigned senior [player_tooltip player_id="577859" first="Chatham" last="Lambiotte"] is one name to know with this group. They'll close the regular season out on Monday night against unbeaten New Hanover.</p> <h5>9. Charlotte Latin School (19-3) </h5> <p><strong>Last Rank: 5th</strong></p> <p>Charlotte Latin School moves to the sixth spot in the NCISAA Top 10 Power Rankings following two losses to Providence Day School since the last edition of rankings. Sharpshooter [player_tooltip player_id="1219884" first="Ned" last="Hull"] and versatile forward [player_tooltip player_id="1049199" first="Brock" last="Rose"] continue to develop while [player_tooltip player_id="1336317" first="Brandon" last="Lavitt"] (Shenandoah) sets the tone as their glue guy. They'll close out their schedule against Cannon School (2/8) and Covenant Day (2/11) before their conference tournament.</p> <h5>8. Wayne Country Day School (21-6)</h5> <p><strong>Last Rank: 8th</strong></p> <p>Wayne Country Day School has had a solid season led by [player_tooltip player_id="848089" first="Collin" last="Tanner"], [player_tooltip player_id="1113673" first="Jordan" last="Cooper"], [player_tooltip player_id="848086" first="Nayshin" last="Waller"], [player_tooltip player_id="1120961" first="Kayleb" last="Coles"] and Carlos Vasquez. They've built quite the chemistry as a young group that should play well together in the future. They'll look to avenge their most recent loss to Greenfield School in a potential rematch in the finals on Friday but they'll need to get through Wayne Christian on Thursday first.</p> <h5>7. Greenfield School (23-5)</h5> <p><strong>Last Rank: 9th</strong></p> <p>Greenfield School continues to climb up the power rankings following their 11th consecutive victory over Wayne Country Day School to go unbeaten in Coastal Plain Conference play. [player_tooltip player_id="848068" first="Aaron" last="Murphy"] (Queens) is a fundamentally-sound prospect that continues to have a strong senior campaign. 2023s [player_tooltip player_id="1277989" first="Matt" last="Kirby"], [player_tooltip player_id="1156048" first="Kyshon" last="Atkinson"] and [player_tooltip player_id="1280938" first="Kobe" last="Edwards"] are having strong seasons in the backcourt as they begin their conference tournament this week.</p> <h5>6. Greensboro Day School (26-3)</h5> <p><strong>Last Rank: 4th</strong></p> <p>Greensboro Day School drops to the sixth spot in the power rankings after a loss to Trinity Academy Raleigh, 44-42, this past Thursday. They've still got a solid group with [player_tooltip player_id="577847" first="Nikolas" last="Graves"] (Charlotte), [player_tooltip player_id="848080" first="Michael" last="Zanoni"] (Mercer), CJ Collins (Princeton) and [player_tooltip player_id="577840" first="Jackson" last="Noble"] (Navy) along with 2023s [player_tooltip player_id="577888" first="Jaydon" last="Young"] and [player_tooltip player_id="577876" first="Julius" last="Reese Jr"].. They've got a three-game week to close the regular season out with Westchester Country Day on Tuesday and Thursday then High Point Christian Academy on Friday. </p> <h5>5. Providence Day School (20-5)</h5> <p><strong>Last Rank: 10th</strong></p> <p>Providence Day School finds itself in the Top 5 of this week's edition of power rankings as they continue to rack up wins. They've won seven games in a row and counting following their last loss against Cannon School on Jan. 11. [player_tooltip player_id="848075" first="Quave" last="Propst-Allison"] and [player_tooltip player_id="848078" first="Bryce" last="Scott"] remain as some top unsigned names to know in this group in the 2022 class. Covenant Day (2/8) and Charlotte Christian (2/11) will close out their regular-season slate.</p> <h5>4. Gaston Day School (21-3)</h5> <p><strong>Last Rank: 1st</strong></p> <p>Gaston Day School finds themselves just inside the Top 5 at No. 4 following a pair of losses to Metrolina Christian (1/20) and Northside Christian Academy on Feb. 4. They're still in good shape as unsigned senior [player_tooltip player_id="574463" first="Chris" last="Britt"] leads the charge with [player_tooltip player_id="1155694" first="Colin" last="Fayed"], [player_tooltip player_id="993656" first="Evan" last="Montanari"] and [player_tooltip player_id="854914" first="Callum" last="Richard"] in tow. They'll begin their conference tournament on Tuesday against Hickory Grove Christian in the first round.</p> <h5>3. The Burlington School (22-6)</h5> <p><strong>Last Rank: 2nd</strong></p> <p>The Burlington School moves down a spot to No. 3 following a tough loss to Carmel Christian (1/25) and a one-point loss to Oak Hill Academy. Coach Ryan Bernardi has his group on the right track as they head into the conference tournament and state playoffs looking to repeat as NCISAA 2A champions. [player_tooltip player_id="577871" first="Avion" last="Pinner"], [player_tooltip player_id="1217074" first="Michael" last="Nwoko"], [player_tooltip player_id="854890" first="Kobe" last="George"] and [player_tooltip player_id="1098355" first="Zion" last="Walker"] are some prospects to know for them. They'll close the regular season out against Wesleyan Christian (2/8) and 1 of 1 Academy (2/10) this week.</p> <h5>2. Trinity Academy Raleigh (17-3)</h5> <p><strong>Last Rank: 6th</strong></p> <p>Trinity Academy Raleigh makes the leap from No. 6 into the No. 2 spot following a close 44-42 victory over Greensboro Day School on Feb. 3. They followed that up with a victory over Burlington Christian Academy on Friday, 83-64. [player_tooltip player_id="848082" first="Noah" last="Ross"] (UNC-Wilmington) and [player_tooltip player_id="838046" first="Sam" last="Perez"] (High Point) have this group playing on another level as does unsigned senior [player_tooltip player_id="1363140" first="Zach" last="Sloan"]. They'll square off against Ravenscroft tonight to close out their regular-season schedule.</p> <h5>1. Carmel Christian School Cougars (20-3)</h5> <p><strong>Last Rank: 3rd</strong></p> <p>Carmel Christian finds themselves as the new No. 1 in the NCISAA Rankings following victories over The Burlington School, Wesleyan Christian Academy and Charlotte Christian heading into the 5th edition. They've been steady with Belmont signee [player_tooltip player_id="1008879" first="Cade" last="Tyson"] and unsigned seniors [player_tooltip player_id="932138" first="Logan" last="Threatt"] and [player_tooltip player_id="1274301" first="Nyles" last="Howard"] leading the charge for them.
