Preseason Top 40 Team Rankings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2024-25 season is quickly approaching, so we decided it would be a good time to release some Preseason Power Rankings for the MD/DC area top teams. These rankings are derived from the multiple hours our Prep Hoops staff has spent in the gym over the summer watching games and scouting new prospects. Here are the areas top 40 teams before regular season play tips off.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Quick note: The previous rankings consisted of teams from Virginia, Maryland, and DC. Also, the old rankings were last updated at the conclusion of the 2023-2024 high school season. THESE new top 40 rankings will only include teams from Maryland and D.C.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:table {"className":"is-style-regular"} --> <figure class="wp-block-table is-style-regular"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Rank/Team</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">2023-24 Overall Record (league record)</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Previous Rank (2023-24)</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">1.
