MaxPreps Top 25 national high school boys basketball rankings

21. (NR) Garfield (Seattle), 27-1
The Bulldogs knocked off previously-unbeaten Richland for the Class 4A state title Saturday. MaxPreps Holiday Classic champ Jackson (Mill Creek) was knocked out of the proceedings in the first round by Issaquah, who Garfield beat in the semis. All-American candidate Tramaine Isabell spearheaded the program's 12th state crown by averaging 23.4 points per game and putting up 34 in the championship game. Fellow seniors Brayon Blake, Torrence Baker and DeeShawn Tucker along with sophomore Jashaun Agosto were also key pieces to the title run.

22. (NR) Callaway (Jackson, Miss.), 29-1
Malik Newman's squad is two wins away from its third state title in a row. The Chargers have won 20 in a row.

23. (NR) Archbishop Moeller (Cincinnati, Ohio), 23-1
Moeller meets Middletown on Wednesday in a regional semifinal matchup. Only three teams have topped the 50-point mark against the Crusaders this season.

24. (NR) Neumann-Goretti (Philadelphia), 23-4
Winners of 13 in a row, the Saints meet GAR Memorial (Wilkes-Barre) on Tuesday in the Pennsylvania Class AAA state playoffs.

25. (NR) Hamilton Southeastern (Fishers, Ind.), 22-3
What a twist of fate it would be if this Royals squad – which beat No. 6 Arsenal Technical back on Feb. 1 and then-No. 16 Carmel over the weekend – broke through to win a state title. Hamilton Southeastern has featured Gary Harris (Michigan State) and Zak Irvin (Michigan) in recent years but couldn't get over the hump with them in the lineup.

Dropped out: No. 10 last week Apple Valley (Minn.); No. 11 White Station (Memphis, Tenn.); No. 16 Carmel (Ind.); No. 17 Lincoln (Brooklyn, N.Y.); No. 22 DeMatha (Hyattsville, Md.); No. 24 Judson (Converse, Texas); No. 25 Brookfield Central (Brookfield, Wis.)
