Paul VI, Ridgeway make late Power Rankings push as playoffs approach

There was no shift towards the top of the rankings, as the top five remained the same following St. Anthony's narrow victory over Huntington Prep. But the bottom half was abuzz with movement. Ridgeway entered the fold after avenging an early loss to Southwind, and Gonzaga dropped out of the Top 25 after losses to DeMatha and Paul VI.

With the playoffs around the bend, the next several weeks should be telling. And one game this week could have major rankings ramifications: Tilton at Brewster. Stay tuned.
