Notes
- Catholic (LA) takes over the #1 spot in the final HS Power Rankings after winning the High School National Invite over #2 Lakeside!
- The top four teams are all extremely strong and close to one another in skill. Grady has wins and losses to both CFS and Catholic. Lakeside’s only loss of the year came to Catholic in the HSNI final after a grueling weekend and few healthy bodies left. CFS topped Catholic last month, but lost to Grady in the final of the South Regional.
- Could we see #5 Sky View get outside of Utah more next season? They smashed Lone Peak, who played well on their forays to major regular season tournaments, at Utah States.
- Mason (OH) flies up the Top 25 after an outstanding HSNI performance. They were one of the best teams at the tournament and really pushed Catholic in semis.
- Edina won the Minnesota State Championship last night to finish ahead of Hopkins for another season.
