For our first rankings since before all the tourneys on Christmas and New Year’s weeks, it is now a case of the who-beat-who syndrome in full swing. Not only were players who were not eligible prior to the sit out period now in action, there were additional injuries and even a case where more than one team was riddled with sickness that sidelined many top players. The bottom line is the first three teams are still intact and looking solid, including a No. 1 versus No. 2 matchup this weekend at the Kay Yow Showcase at Mater Dei. Then comes new No. 4 JSerra making a huge jump up, but after that no one held on to its previous position all the way until the final spot in the rankings.
