24. (NR) Roselle Catholic (N.J.), 18-2
Aside from an ugly two-game skid in mid-January, the Lions have looked the part of the Top 10 team they were pegged as in the preseason. Since losing to No. 4 DeMatha on Jan. 17, Roselle Catholic is 9-0 with all of those coming by 15 points or more.

25. (NR) Chaminade (St. Louis), 16-3
St. Rita (Chicago) has an argument here, considering it beat Chaminade 77-75 on Jan. 11. But the Red Devils have a better overall resume with wins over No. 20 Stevenson and Paul VI (Fairfax, Va.). They also took No. 4 DeMatha to the wire in 55-54 loss on the road.
