There’s some changes in this week’s High School on SI  District of Columbia boys basketball Top 10 rankings as the regular season is winding down.

The fourth-ranked Eagles, riding a four-game losing skid, plays at Carroll Tuesday evening. After handing then-No. 6 KIPP D.C. Legacy College Prep only its second loss of the season, Theodore Roosevelt - and its District-best 26 wins - moves up to No. 8.

Saint John’s College remains No. 1 in the District, followed by Sidwell Friends School. Friendship Technology Prep holds at No. 5.

Jackson-Reed, Calvin Coolidge, Theodore Roosevelt, KIPP D.C. Legacy College Prep and Saint Albans School complete the poll.
