(2-18-18) -One big change this week at the top of the SSN National Public HS Boys Basketball Rankings, #1 Seattle Garfield lost to Seattle Prep (15-9) by a 58-55 score in the Class 3A SeaKing District quarterfinals, it was Brandon Roy’s first loss in two years as a high school head coach. With the loss they drop out of the Top 10.

That means there is a new #1 this week, that being South Bend Riley, who is picking up steam as the regular season winds down. The Wildcats continue to show why they are the top team in the Hoosier state.

Five other schools also move up two spots, #3 Shadow Mountain, #4 Las Cruces, #5 Plymouth Whitemarsh, #6 Clarkston and #7 Denton Guyer.

Taking a jump the wrong way is last week’s #3 Warren Central.  The Warriors drop 5 spots and is #8 this week after a close call win over Carmel (14-7) 66-65.

Moving up one spot this week is #9 Olympus.
