Greetings HS hoops junkies from across the gray and dreary Piedmont!  The Great One is here again to release his weekly F5 rankings.  There are a couple of changes in the 5 as early season competition can take its toll.  The Lakers are rolling and expect to be on top of the rankings all season.  There will be one more Furious 5 this calendar year as the varying levels of competition in holiday tournaments inhibit logical comparisons.  One team won’t be penalized for playing tough competition while others go trophy hunting.  Without further delay, we will now go……To The 5!!!!!!

1. LAKE NORMAN – THE WILDCATS ROLLED TABOR AND STATESVILLE, NOW GUNNING FOR AN ARBY’S CLASSIC TITLE AFTER CHRISTMAS. 

2. NORTH MECK – DODGED TWO BULLETS AT ROCKY RIVER AND VS NEWTON, GA IN A SHOWCASE GAME. 

3. CATHOLIC – THE POPE’S BOYS SWEPT A PAIR OF CISAA TEAMS, AND HAVE A BIG DATE WITH INDY ON FRIDAY. 

4. ARDREY KELL – BLEW OUT PORTER RIDGE, DITTO FOR ANOTHER RIDGE, BALLANTYNE, THIS FRIDAY.

5. CHAMBERS – NIPPED BUTLER BUT WAS DEFEATED BY DYNAMIC PREP.

Don’t Sleep On:  Hopewell, Olympic, Mooresville, Independence, Weddington

There you have it folks!  Return next week for the last F5 of 2024 and make sure and catch some holiday tournament action.  Stay tuned!!!

SAD SAM – HS HOOPS GENIUS
