Video: LaMelo Ball scores 92 pointsChino Hills checks in at No. 5 despite loss last weekend.Updated high school boys basketball national rankings have been released by a number of media outlets this week.
We've thrown them into the pot to create a composite look at where high school basketball's elite stand. For a complete look at each media outlet's picks, click on the links below:
Due to the High School Top 25-Independent Top 10 rankings split, MaxPreps.com's expert rankings will not be included in the composite.
Only schools recognized by two or more media outlets are eligible for inclusion in the composite rankings. Teams were assigned a score of 30 for each media outlet that did not recognize them as part of their Top 25, rewarding teams that received consensus acclaim.
All six expert polls have Chandler Lawson and Memphis East ranked in the top eight. The computer rankings aren't as high on the Mustangs despite a grueling schedule.
