This week’s Orange County high school boys basketball rankings.
Notable this week: Los Alamitos, which was impressive in a three-point loss to St. Pius X/St. Matthias, moves up one position in this week’s Top 25. The Griffins so far look to have more depth and more scoring versatility than Mater Dei. … Servite and Fountain Valley had strong weeks, so both pop into the county rankings.
