MaxPreps Academy Top 10 presented by the Army National Guard

1. (No. 1 last week) Findlay Prep (Henderson, Nev.), 27-0
Nigel Williams-Goss had quite the week in a pair of lopsided wins for the Pilots last week. First, the Washington-bound senior point guard went for 41 points in a 124-92 win over Kingdom Prep of Iowa. One night later he tallied 16 points and 16 assists in a 109-65 win over Planet Athlete Academy of Arizona.

2. (2) Prime Prep (Dallas), 24-0
In what should be its toughest test in well over a month, Prime will play fellow unbeaten and No. 7 Sunrise Christian on Friday in Dallas.

3. (3) St. Benedict's Prep (Newark, N.J.), 23-1
The Gray Bees rattled off three impressive wins last week, capped by a 73-56 victory over St. Peter's Prep (Jersey City, N.J.) at the PrimeTime Shootout.

4. (4) Montverde Academy (Fla.), 22-2
The Eagles won't play again until March 3 against No. 6 Huntington Prep at Freedom Hall in Louisville, Ky.

5. (5) La Lumiere (LaPorte, Ind.), 24-2
Head coach Alan Huss and the Lakers have defeated teams from 15 states in addition to Canada and China this season.

6. (6) Huntington Prep (W.Va.), 25-2
Andrew Wiggins scored 57 points on 24 of 28 shooting from the field in Prep's only outing last week – a 111-59 thrashing of the junior varsity team at Marietta College of Ohio.

7. (7) Sunrise Christian Academy (Bel Aire, Kan.), 25-0
Big game Friday for the Buffaloes against No. 2 Prime Prep. Staying competitive with The Truth would be additional validation for Kyle Lindsted's upstart program. A win would drastically change the Academy Top 10 landscape.

8. (NR) Montrose Christian (Rockville, Md.), 14-4
Since a rough stretch in late December and early January, the Mustangs have won five of six games – including a triple-overtime victory two weeks ago against No. 10 Oak Hill Academy.

9. (NR) Benedictine (Richmond, Va.), 25-2
Paced by standout junior guard Robert Johnson (17.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists per game) the Cadets have won eight games in a row.

10. (10) Oak Hill Academy (Mouth of Wilson, Va.), 25-5
The Warriors shook off another disappointing loss over the weekend to Omaha Central (Neb.) with a Monday victory over Mt. Zion Christian Academy (Durham, N.C.).
