No. 25 Neumann-Goretti (Philadelphia) returned to the national poll after a week that included a 98-75 win over regionally ranked Archbishop Carroll (Pa.). Four star junior point guard Quade Green led N-G with 20 points and five assists.

Five-star junior DeAndre Ayton posted a jaw-dropping triple-double as Hillcrest Prep (Phoenix) knocked off then-regionally ranked Sunrise Christian (Kan.), 71-67. Ayton, a seven-footer, finished the game with 52 points, 33 rebounds, and 10 blocks.

Freshman B.J. Burries exploded for 68 points to lead Globe (Ariz.) to a 105-103 double-overtime win over Florence. Burries’ outburst was seven points shy of the state record of 75 points set nearly 50 years ago.

About the PrepNation National Prep Poll

The PrepNation National Prep Poll is a continuation of World Feature Syndicate’s National Prep Poll, which was published and distributed to the Associated Press and other news organizations from 1987 to 2015.

The National Prep Poll is second only to the USA Today Super 25 as the longest continually published weekly high school rankings. While a product of World Features Syndicate (1987-2015), the National Prep Poll was the only high school poll distributed to newspapers and websites around the United States by the Associated Press.

Before authoring rankings for Student Sports and ESPN, National High School Sports Hall of Fame journalist Doug Huff compiled the National Prep Poll rankings from 1987 until 1999. Current author Jamie DeMoney has compiled the poll since the start of the 1999 basketball season to the present.

Among the criteria used in the weekly compilation of the National Prep Poll rankings are strength of schedule, the ability to accomplish the ultimate goal on a team's schedule (i.e. winning a championship), impact players and performers, a team's coaching and recent tradition.
