Final PrepNation National Prep Basketball Poll

Second-ranked Oak Hill Academy (Va.) dropped the curtain on the 2015-16 season by winning the Dick’s Sporting Goods High School Nationals at Madison Square Garden for the first time.

The Warriors (45-1) let an 18-point third-quarter lead slip away but still managed to defeat No. 7 La Lumiere (Ind.), 62-60, in overtime.

Although Oak Hill set a school record for victories and ended the season on a 42-game winning streak, it wasn’t enough to overtake Chino Hills (Calif.) for the National Prep Poll’s final No. 1 ranking. The top-ranked Huskies (35-0) – who captured their first California state title last week --- remained in the top spot for the 15^th consecutive edition of the poll. They are the first Prep Poll champion from California since Compton Dominguez in 1999-2000.

The National Prep Basketball Poll is compiled by high school sports experts Jamie DeMoney of XOS Digital and Dr. Jeremy Plowman with input from sportswriters, experts, and coaches. The final national Top 25 and regional Top 10's follow with won-loss records:

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.
