Final ASWA high school basketball rankings feature 2 new No. 1 teams
There are two new No. 1 teams in the final ASWA high school basketball rankings of the season.
Good Hope took over the top spot in girls Class 4A while Mars Hill Bible is the new boys Class 2A No. 1 team.
Area tournaments can begin on Friday with the top two teams advancing to sub-regional play in Class 1A-6A while the Class 7A winner and runner-up go straight to regionals.
Good Hope has been impressive all season with wins over Class 7A third-ranked Vestavia Hills, Class 5A top-ranked Jasper and Class 5A sixth-ranked West Point. The Raiders also handed Class 3A top-ranked Lauderdale County its only loss of the season on Wednesday, although the win isn’t reflected in current rankings.
In boys rankings, Class 2A Mars Hill Bible took over the top spot after LaFayette lost to unranked Class 1A Wadley.
The remainder of girls No. 1 teams were the same with Class 7A Bob Jones, Class 6A Hazel Green, Class 5A Jasper, Class 3A Lauderdale County, Class 2A Mars Hill Bible, Class 1A Spring Garden and AISA Glenwood.
Other No. 1 boys teams are Class 7A Huntsville, Class 6A Buckhorn, Class 5A Fairfield, Class 4A Jackson, Class 3A Sumter Central, Class 1A Covenant Christian and AISA Bessemer Academy.
