Well Delbarton and CBA didn’t do me any favors, so you can all but take your pick of the top teams. Nobody has earned the right to be ranked first at this point, since Delbarton has not played enough tough opposition, Seton Hall Prep lost to Delbarton, and Bergen Catholic lost twice to Seton Hall. But somebody has to be No. 1.
Check out the White/Blue Top 20 ranking for lower-division teams.
