Illinois Top 40: Week 9

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With MLK day on the horizon, it's time for new rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While the top six remain idle, DePaul Prep is starting to significantly separate themselves from the rest of the field. They played a tough, gritty CCL game vs Mt. Carmel a few days ago and won by 3 points on the road. But the win vs Vashon (MO) Sunday afternoon was the highlight of the week. Their second win vs a national powerhouse this season after knocking off Mater Dei (CA) in December. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Outside of that, only one team rejoins the rankings this week. That's Hersey at 14-3. Taking the last spot over Normal. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Rankings</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} --> <ol class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>DePaul Prep (19-1)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Bolingbrook (19-2)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Kenwood (18-1)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Waubonsie Valley (20-0)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Quincy (18-1)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Homewood-Flossmor (17-2)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Rich Township (13-4)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Lincoln Park (17-3)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Brother Rice (17-2)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Benet (17-3)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Hinsdale Central (17-2)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Mt.
