The Hilltoppers aren't taking it easy — they draw No. 6 Riverdale Saturday at Riverdale, and then will join Whitney Young and a host of other elite teams at the Naples Holiday Classic.

4. (4) St. Mary's (Phoenix) 8-0
Only one team has scored more than 32 points against the Knights, and their last win was by a 53-11 margin. Games will be tougher in the Nike TOC.

Much will be revealed at the Nike TOC, with three of the top five and four of the top nine all in the same bracket.
