There’s no way to win with this Top 20. Delbarton and CBA are the only main contenders who have not lost in the last two weeks, so they remain at the top of the rankings. State tournament deadline is past, and 18 private schools and 43 public schools qualified, pending the result of the Old Tappan-Ridgewood dispute and the awarding of at-large bids.
Check out the White/Blue Top 20 ranking for lower-division teams.
