1. Houston (5-1)
Last week: 1
The best starting 5 in Class AAA. White Station was in consideration for the Top 10 last week, so winning in the classic, old gym is quite an accomplishment. Houston remains #1 again, despite losing to former Mississippi State Champion Olive Branch (MS), though their stranglehold is tenuous with three unbeaten teams (Whitehaven, Mt. Juliet, Cleveland) chasing.
2. Whitehaven (8-0)
Last week: 3
Making a case for the #1 spot. No more Faragi Phillips. Vanderbilt plucked the best, young coach in the state for their staff and the best ’20 in Memphis, Matthew Murrell, left for I.M.G. This should have been the AAA favorite, but losing your head coach and Mr. Basketball candidate is significant.
3. Mt. Juliet (7-0)
Last week: 4

Ravenwood vs. #6 McGavock |

Brand new starting lineup. Opened season with a win. Just one playoff loss in the last three State Tournaments.
5. Cleveland (8-0)
Last week: 5
Champions of the Pigeon Forge Thanksgiving Classic.
6. Blackman (3-1)
Last week: 8
Starters are all back. Jalen Page and Zoryn Harrington welcome Oakland transfer Ray Tyler (Tusculum signed). Dropped in overtime to Huntsville powerhouse Lee, 53-52.

Last week: NA
8. Siegel* (5-1)
Last week: NA
9. Science Hill* (9-0)
