Top 25 national high school boys basketball rankings: No. 1 Montverde dominating (12/12/2023)
The 2023-24 high school basketball season is in full swing for most of the country.
That means it’s time to update the SBLive/Sports Illustrated Power 25 national boys basketball rankings.
Montverde Academy (Florida) has strengthened the grip on its preseason No. 1 ranking with multiple signature wins. Through three weeks, the Eagles have made it clear they are as dangerous as advertised.
The top three remained the same, but there was plenty of movement throughout the rest of the top 25. Dream City Christian (Arizona) made the biggest leap, moving up nine spots into the top 10.
Four teams fell out of the rankings, opening the way for Archbishop Stepinac (New York), Stony Point (Texas), John Marshall (Virginia) and Don Bosco Prep (New Jersey) to join the club.
