Boys Hoop Top 10s/Power Poll

Rankings are through Thursday’s games. I did not vote this week in the Top 10 on Masslive. Email mmoran@gazettenet.com with comments.
Some thoughts: Division 1 is slowly shaking itself out. There have been some upsets but nothing so great that it breaks the poll. Division 2 is awfully hard to figure out. There is a lot of parity within the Bi-County and Hampshire leagues, and the D2 Berkshire schools are in a down year. Division 3 basically has two regional halves and we won’t get a clear view until the postseason.

Girls Hoop Preseason Teams/Top 10s

NOTE: The Winter Sports Preview runs Friday. It features every winter sport (minus skiing, which will run in January closer to their opener). Be sure to pick one up. Lots of good stuff in there.

With games officially starting this week, it's time to break out the preseason rankings and preseason all-stars. I'll have the first Week Guide up late Sunday night. We'll get into the routine of the Week Guide every Sunday night/Monday early afternoon. Top 10s will start around Dec. 23 and run every Thursday throughout the season.

WMass Girls Hoop Top 10s

NOTE: I think I'm going to hold off on a Top 25 until the new year. ... As can be expected, there's been a ton of movement since the preseason rankings, but I'm also trying not to go overboard with one strange early result. It's a hard juggling act, but we'll see how things shake out in the next week or two.
