The best plays from around the country.

There wasn't much change in the MaxPreps Top 20 rankings — plus 10 bonus bubble teams — but there is a lack of movement from the best player in Northern California that could resonate across the state.

Marcus Bagley, a skilled guard headed to Arizona State, has missed the last five games with a foot issue, bad enough to require a walking boot. He will visit with doctors this week.

Sheldon has rolled on without him and holds onto the No. 1 spot here.
