Notes:
Still not change at the top of the poll but th various polls can’t agree on several teams, such as Pershing, Bishop Montgomery, Prime Prep and La Lumiere. But the biggest consensus is Oak Hill, which has fallen rapidly and is in danger of dropping out of the top 30 entirely.
This week’s poll includes four sources: Hoopniks, ESPN, USA Today and PrepNation. MaxPreps also released polls during this period but I haven’t included them, due to the fact that they segment private academies from public high schools. I am not sure how, or if, I will incorporate their rankings back into the cumulative rankings.
Finally: In the poll listing, the ‘high’ value represents the highest ranking in any poll that team received during the ranking period.
‘Qty’ represents how many polls they were ranked in. ‘AVG’ represents their average ranking in all polls where they were ranked.
