Continue ReadingIt wasn’t a big week. But it wasn’t a quiet one either. There were a handful of exciting matchups featuring top 10 and top 20 teams that slightly altered this weeks rankings. But there weren’t any teams that skyrocketed or dropped immensely on the list. Even thought #1 remains the same, there’s a new #2 that’s reached its highest point all season.
That team is Homewood-Flossmor. The Vikings picked up a massive come-from-behind road win to down DePaul Prep at the Steve Pappas Shootout. Gianni Cobb Gianni Cobb 6'0" | PG Homewood Flossmoor | 2024 State IL led the way with 13 points. One spot below them is Mt. Carmel, who really impress with their depth. Grant Best Grant Best 6'3" | SG Mt. Carmel | 2025 State IL led the way with 15 points to down Benet 50-36. The top 3 teams are all unbeaten in Illinois.
Loyola and Glenbrook South are the only teams to rejoin the rankings this week. Both have strong resumes and are more than deserving of a spot in the top 40.
