The top 15 teams either won or were idle as they prepared for the start of their state’s postseasons.

North Shore (TX) dropped eight spots after it lost to C.E. King in a regional matchup, while Hamilton (AZ) fell out altogether following its loss to Liberty. St. Frances Academy (MD) also dropped out this week, with newcomers Prattville (AL) and Trinity (KY) entering the rankings ahead of their playoff runs.
