National High School Top 25- 2/3/12
by Alex Schwartz
The race for the mythical national championship continues to get clearer and clear as the season moves along. The three teams sitting atop the polls seem to be pretty clear cut and are the heavy frontrunners for the ultimate prize.
The trio leading the way are not only the top three teams this year, but one could argue they are the three best programs in the nation, period. However, behind them are a few other programs that could make a move to the top for 2011-12 if things fall their way.
There has been some reshuffling since the last poll, but there is still a lot of continuity in terms of what teams are in the poll. Have a look below at how things stand in terms of the best high school hoops teams in America with just a few days into the month of February.
