NextImg:Michael O’Brien’s high school basketball rankings for Nov. 26, 2023

It was a solid opening week for most of the highly-ranked preseason teams. The top eight remains the same after the first slate of games.

De La Salle and Brother Rice jump a few spots, both had big wins. The Meteors knocked of St. Ignatius and Brother Rice beat Joliet West in a close game.

Two teams fall out: Yorkville and Lane. The Foxes lost to Burlington Central and Lane fell to Niles North. It’s a very long season and odds are we will see both join the Super 25 again.

Warren and Oswego East are the new additions. Is it too soon to add the Blue Devils? Maybe, but an 11-point loss to Mount Carmel is a pretty good sign. Freshman Jaxson Davis is already playing like a star. He had 15 points, nine assists, and six rebounds against Grant, 22 points against Comer and 20 points and seven rebounds in the loss to the Caravan.

The Wolves probably should have been in the preseason rankings, but join a week late. They knocked off West Aurora and Hinsdale Central.
