Super 8 Boys BB State Ranks Update

There are no changes at the top of the order in our State Top 20 for this week, but No. 8 Fairfax suffers an injury loss that could be tough to overcome, especially with some of the teams on that team’s schedule in upcoming weeks.

NOTE: Our updated State Top 20 with lists of many other teams on the bubble will be posted each week but will require Gold Club membership to see for the rest of the season. Our breakdowns and analysis of what’s coming up and what’s already happened can’t be matched anywhere else because we’ve been following the statewide scene years and years longer than any other media source.

2. (2) Chino Hills 20-0
Former UCLA head coach Steve Lavin was on the team at Drake (San Anselmo) that won 57 games in a row from 1980 to 1982. Huskies will try to match the length of that streak in state record book this week.

The Knights bounced back from their MLK Monday loss to national power Montverde Academy of Florida with two easy league wins last week.

Seven-foot Bol Bol had 21 points and 10 rebounds in his transfer debut for Monarchs last Friday vs. Orange Lutheran.

5. (5) Woodcreek (Roseville) 18-2
TImberwolves hammered a Folsom team last week (69-34) that has been tough to beat in recent years at home or away.

6. (6) Birmingham (Lake Balboa) 18-3
How many explosive scorers does this team have anyway? Add Mark Boland (who had 28 points vs. Taft last week) to the list.

7. (7) Foothills Christian (El Cajon) 16-2
The Knights play the same Taft of Woodland Hills club that nearly defeated No. 6 Birmingham at the Greatest Showcase on Earth next Saturday at L.A. Cathedral.

8. (8) Fairfax (Los Angeles) 17-1
The Lions got past arch-rival Westchester last week, but lost talented sophomore guard Ethan Anderson for the rest of the regular season with a knee injury.
