Every Monday of the high school basketball season we will release our Prep Hoops Indiana Class-by-Class Rankings as well statewide “unclassed” rankings. With the opening week in the books, let’s dive on in to how things shake out to being week two.

Evansville Christian solidified themselves at the top of Class 1A with wins over Liberty Christian and Loogootee.
Loogootee will not be punished for losing, but being competitive against Top 10 Class 3A North Daviess and 1A #1 Evansville Christian. They are still the second best team in this class despite suffering two losses. Similarly, Marquette Catholic isn’t punished too harshly for losing to Class 4A Michigan City.
Tindley moves into the Top 10 thanks to impressive showings against Gary 21st Century and Cincinnati Woodward. If you are a 1A school and play #3 in 2A to the final buzzer, you should move up in the polls.

Brownstown Central solidified their spot at the top with an 81-71 victory over defending 2A state champion Providence.
Providence slides a little further than they typically would due to the injury status of senior guard Casey KaelinCaseyKaelin

who left the season opener with a hand injury.
Park Tudor certainly could make a case for jumping some teams with their impressive victory over Guerin Catholic, but this early in the season it doesn’t make sense to shift things around too much.

NorthWood solidified their spot at #1 with a pair of dominant victories including over a talented Concordia Lutheran team.
This class remains wide open as some strange results occurred in week one. Delta moves into the Top 10 after taking down previously #6 Connersville.
Norwell slides after losing to Carroll (Fort Wayne), but remains in the Top 10 as Carroll is a 4A school with some very good players and it was just a one-point loss.

Cathedral and Ben Davis have separated themselves from everyone else in the state. The Irish are 2-0 with 48 and 50-point victories. Meanwhile, Ben Davis has taken down both Fishers and Zionsville on the road to start the year off.
Carmel defeated Zionsville and lost to a very good team from Illinois so they move up a few spots. Not punishing Zionsville or Fishers much thought for losses to Carmel and Ben Davis respectively. They are still Top 10 teams in the state without questions.
Brownsburg had an impressive win over North Central while Westfield beat Kokomo to earn their way into the Top 10.
