This week's MaxPreps Top 25 high school basketball rankings include significant movement stemming from The Throne, where Roosevelt (Eastvale, Calif.) beat previous No. 1 Columbus (Miami, Fla.) in the championship game.

Though results from The Throne will not count toward win-loss records, the outcomes are difficult to ignore.

Paul VI (Chantilly, Va.) re-claims the No. 1 spot in the MaxPreps Top 25 ahead of its trip to Chipotle Nationals this weekend. The Panthers will face National Top 10 powerhouse IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) in the first round Thursday.

Columbus dropped one spot following the setback to No. 4 Roosevelt. The Explorers are also headed to Chipotle Nationals, where they will have an uphill battle as the No. 5 seed. Columbus faces National Top 10 No. 2 Long Island Lutheran (Brookville, N.Y.) in the first round.

With Indiana concluding state tournament action last week, all 50 states have now completed postseason play. No. 15 Fishers (Ind.) was the final nationally-ranked team to complete its state title run.
