Michael O’Brien’s Super 25 high school basketball rankings for Feb. 16, 2020

It’s been a long weekend and this is a late stab at the rankings after a busy day. But weirdly, I didn’t have a lot of trouble deciding what to do with the top spot.

Everyone else has stumbled. So Curie gets a mulligan. The Condors have still put together the best regular season. They get to lose one game to a great, hot team (Simeon) while they are without their coach and still hold on to number one.

New additions to the Super 25

Fenwick (22-6): It’s kinda hard to call the Friars a new addition. They’ve been in and out more times than I can count. But the win at DePaul Prep has Fenwick back in the Super 25.

Dropping out

Hinsdale South (26-3): It’s been a yo-yo season in the rankings for the Hornets as well. They fall out after losing to Proviso East.
