The Raiders already laid waste to New York — winning four games, including one against Christ the King, which just upset previous No. 16 Nazareth. The Nike TOC is next.
22. (NR) Blackman (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) 11-0It's a great year for girls basketball in Murfreesboro. Blackman, with wins over Bolingbrook of Illinois and DuPont Manual of Kentucky, joins Riverdale in the Xcellent 25.
23. (NR) Ossining (N.Y.) 4-0Saniya Chong is averaging more than 31 a game, and she'll play at UConn — but she'll need help from her teammates at the Nike TOC if the Pride is to hang on to this ranking.
24. (22) Our Lady of Good Counsel (Olney, Md.) 5-2The Falcons, still without star guard Lindsey Spann, lost on a buzzer-beating three-pointer to No. 15 Shabazz — and the other loss is to No. 11 St. John's.
25. (25) Hopkins (Minnetonka, Minn.) 8-0Nia Coffey had 15 points, 15 rebounds, six assists, five blocks and two steals as the Royals held off Lakeville North 69-62. No report on how many hot dogs she sold at halftime.
Dropped out: No. 11 Rock Bridge, No. 16 Nazareth, No. 23 McDonogh.
