DMV Top-30 Power Rankings: Week 13
The rankings have a relatively new look and feel about them as we anticipate the postseason. St. Frances and Poly were arguably the biggest winners last week, scoring wins over national powers Oak Hill Academy and IMG Academy respectively. Both programs are entrenched in the top-five in this update. McNamara, riding a 6-game win streak, moves up 6 spots to #16. Spalding scored a win on the road @ Mt. St. Joe and slides up 5 places to #24 as a result. Flint Hill, Lake Clifton, and Oxon Hill are this week’s newcomers.
