<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another week has gone by and yet again, we're changing the top spot. Curie is back up to number 1 this week after Homewood-Flossmor got blown out by Fishers (IN). The Vikings, now 24-3, drop down only one spot with wins over Bolingbrook and Lincoln-Way East earlier in the week. Thornton and Mt. Carmel, without [player_tooltip player_id='1373436' first='Angelo' last='Ciaravino'], remain #3 and #4 after failing to lose this week. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Waubonsie Valley, previously unbeaten, falls out of the top 10 after losing to Bolingbrook on Saturday. Earlier that day, Raider Point Guard [player_tooltip player_id='1295497' first='Josh' last='Aniceto'] committed to Augustana. Meanwhile, Downers Grove North moves back into the top 10 for the first time in several weeks. The Trojans are on a roll and posed for another deep playoff run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Three teams are making their top 40 debuts. Evanston, now 19-9, have won three straight games against ranked teams. Taking down St. Pats, De La Salle, and New Trier. 23-1 Breese Central also joins the list with their only loss coming to Central earlier in the year. The last spot goes to 21-3 Decatur MacArthur.
