#8
Evansville Christian holds on to the #1 spot despite suffering a couple of losses. Taking North Daviess to double overtime was enough to prove they are the best in Class 1A.
The wide open nature of this class makes it hard to even get to 10 teams. After about number six there are a lot of teams you could throw in a hat and draw out for 7 through about 15 or 20.
Despite losing as handily as they did, I came away impressed with Bloomfield on Saturday at the Sneakers for Santa Shootout.

Nothing changes at the top as Brownstown suffered a loss to a talented Cincinnati Withrow team. Linton-Stockton is right on their heels though after an impressive win over Heritage Christian on Saturday.
Gary 21st Century looked great on Saturday almost knocking off 4A Zionsville.
Park Tudor falls several spots after a loss to Scecina. However, a pair of quality wins keeps them inside the Top 10.

10. Concordia Lutheran
2-1
NR
Marian takes over the top spot following NorthWood’s loss to Beech Grove. North Daviess, South Bend Washington, and Scottsburg all shift up as well.
I didn’t love moving NorthWood down so far, but hard to justify them being ahead of anyone in the new Top 5 at this point. Obviously Beech Grove had to move ahead of them as well.
Taking a flyer on Concordia Lutheran at 10 over teams like Brebeuf Jesuit or Lebanon. Extremely talented junior class and have a good win over Leo. The blowout loss to NorthWood is concerning though.

Cathedral and Ben Davis continue to improve they are in a tier all to themselves in the state. They are on a collision course for Saturday night’s #1 vs. #2 matchup at the Forum Tip-Off Class at Southport Fieldhouse.
Top 5 remains unchanged as Penn, Carmel, and Zionsville all won games last week.
Noblesville makes their debut after defeating Fishers on Friday night. North Central also returns to the Top 10 after three consecutive victories.
