Despite taking another loss in arguably the nation’s toughest conference, Gonzaga College remains atop the latest District of Columbia boys high school basketball rankings. 

The nationally-ranked Eagles fell to Maryland No. 1 DeMatha Catholic 72-55, Monday evening, costing them a shot at the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference regular season title and the top seed for this weekend’s tournament. Gonzaga has the No. 2 seed and will play Bishop Ireton (Va.) or Our Lady of Good Counsel (Md.) in the quarterfinals.

St. John’s College, which plays Bishop Denis J. O’Connell (Va.) in the WCAC regular season finale Tuesday, is ranked No. 2 followed by Sidwell Friends School, Archbishop Carroll and Jackson-Reed.

Friendship Technology Prep, Cardozo, Calvin Coolidge, Theodore Roosevelt and Maret School complete the Top 10.
