6. (8) Wheeler (Marietta, Ga.), 5-0The Wildcats did their part in building intrigue at the City of Palms Classic by entering the tourney as one of several unbeatens. Wheeler faces Yates (Houston) in opening round action Thursday.
7. (6) White Station (Memphis, Tenn.), 6-0The Spartans are headed to the Iolani Classic in Hawaii, where they open Tuesday against Fuxin New Star of China. Other favorites in the field include Hamilton (Milwaukee, Wis.), St. Rita (Chicago), West Linn (Ore.) and Westchester (Los Angeles).
8. (7) Sunrise Christian Academy (Bel Aire, Kan.), 4-1The Buffaloes participated in the Hutchinson Classic over the weekend, taking on a pair of
junior college programs. Sunrise beat Northeast Community College of Nebraska but lost to Hill College of Texas. Like Findlay Prep, SCA shouldn't and won't be punished too severely in the rankings for this type of loss against an older, more experienced opponent. A trip to the City of Palms Classic is up next for the head coach Kyle Lindsted's squad.
9. (9) Curie (Chicago), 4-0After a pair of easy wins last week, the Condors face King (Chicago) on Dec. 17 before heading to the Pontiac Holiday Tournament after Christmas.
10. (12) Germantown (Wis.), 6-0The Warhawks jump a couple of spots after dismantling Diamond Stone and Dominican (Whitefish Bay) 75-29 on Saturday at the NY2LA Sports Classic. The victory extended Germantown's win streak to 62 games, which matches a state record set by Dominican from 1977-80.
