Tennessee, Science Hill's opponent in the Region 1 finals, has a very nice 24-5 record — but three of those losses were to the Hilltoppers, by an average margin of 28.7 points.
12. (12) Bishop O'Dowd (Oakland, Calif.) 24-3Bishop O'Dowd, with its three BCS post players, all taller than 6-2, will most likely face once-beaten Miramonte this weekend before getting bumped into California's new Open Division.
13. (13) St. John's (Washington, D.C.) 30-1The Cadets came storming back in the fourth quarter to slip past Our Lady of Good Counsel, 67-66, behind
Lindsay Allen's 28 points (and 16 of 16 from the free-throw line). But the two teams could easily meet again in the Bishop Walsh Invitational.
14. (14) New Hope Christian Academy (Thomasville, N.C.) 28-1The National Association of Christian Athletes championships in Tennessee will give New Hope a chance to solidify this ranking — or give Riverdale Baptist, which is also in the event, a chance to re-enter the Xcellent 25.
15. (15) Incarnate Word Academy (St. Louis) 26-0Miller Career is 21-5, which might promise some competition for the Red Knights — but for the fact that they already beat Miller Career 69-25 back on Jan. 7.
