High school boys basketball Top 25 composite rankings

By Jason Hickman Mar 27, 2014, 1:50am

Expect a shake-up at the top in the next two weeks as 10 of media's top 12 teams still have games to play.

No. 21 St. Joseph (Metuchen) should climb in the rankings over the next couple of weeks after winning New Jersey's Tournament of Champions crown Monday night. Most media outlets had already released rankings prior to tip of that contest.
