21. (22) Garfield (Seattle), 12-0 The points continue to come in bunches for the Bulldogs. Garfield scored 96 and 83 in wins over Chief Sealth (Seattle) and Lakeside (Seattle) last week and is averaging 84.1 points per game on the season.
22. (NR) Simeon (Chicago), 13-1Since losing to St. Rita back on Dec. 19, the Wolverines won the Pontiac Holiday Classic, beat Beach Ball Classic champ Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) by 30 in West Virginia and swept a pair of games over the weekend at the Penny Hardaway Hoopfest in Tennessee.
23. (24) Fairfax (Los Angeles), 14-0While we often highlight the staggering win margins of Top 25 teams, Fairfax is living dangerously on the other end of the spectrum. Six of the Lions' last eight outings have been decided by eight points or less – including Saturday's 59-55 win over Cathedral (Los Angeles).
24. (25) Pope John XXIII (Sparta, N.J.), 8-0Syracuse signee
Moustapha Diagne led the way with 22 points as Pope John blasted Vernon 86-29 on Friday.
25. (NR) Quality Education Academy (Winston-Salem, N.C.), 12-3QEA's resume is a bit of a tangled web. There are quality wins – no pun intended – over Arlington Country Day (Jacksonville, Fla.), Sunrise Christian Academy (Bel Aire, Kan.) and then-No. 3 Huntington St. Joseph Prep over the weekend. The Fighting Pharaohs also played No. 6 Oak Hill Academy tough in a loss. But two other setbacks against St. Louis Christian (Mo.) and 18-1 Word of God Christian Academy (Raleigh, N.C.) makes placing them without debate a tough proposition.
Dropped out: No. 3
Huntington St. Joseph Prep (W.Va.); No. 11
Our Savior New American (Centereach, N.Y.); No. 23
St. Joseph (Westchester, Ill.).
