Jabari Parker of No. 11 Simeon will make his highly anticipated college decision Dec. 20. Many analysts believe it is a two-horse race between Duke and Michigan State.

The Wolverines looked sluggish in a surprisingly comfortable victory for DeSoto. With games against Montverde Academy (Fla.), No. 5 Southwind, Oak Hill Academy (Mouth of Wilson, Va.) and rival and No. 4 Whitney Young in January,
Jabari Parker and Simeon need to get healthy and pull it together quickly.
12. (14) Tift County (Tifton, Ga.), 5-0The Blue Devils are headed to City of Palms with a serious head of steam. Tift County has won all five games this season by 21 points or more and is coming off weekend whippings of Macon Central (91-50) and Crisp County (72-43).
13. (17) Omaha Central (Neb.), 4-0Like No. 3 Chester, Nebraska's three-time defending state champ will head to Fort Myers with a significant win streak in tow. The Eagles have won 40 games in a row and will look to make it 41 Tuesday against Eagle's Landing (McDonough, Ga.).
14. (19) White Station (Memphis, Tenn.), 8-1Fresh off a win over Austin Nichols and Briarcrest Christian (Eads), White Station's holiday schedule isn't particularly taxing with just three games between now and Jan. 2.
15. (7) Archbishop Mitty (San Jose, Calif.), 3-1Placing the Monarchs ahead of Fort Bend Travis after a head-to-head loss last Thursday is sure to raise eyebrows. Mitty owns wins over three solid in-state programs and led nearly wire-to-wire against Travis before letting the game slip into overtime.
Aaron Gordon and company bounced back with a win over Lincoln (San Diego) at the Drew Gordon Invitational on Saturday while the Texas school dropped another contest over the weekend.
