ARTESIA, OAK HILL, PATTERSON HEAD TOP TEAMS
How teams should be rated is speculation and a number of polls around the country show that. My version is no different. No one really knows who the best teams are at this point. My ratings are much different than the others. I have three top twenty five polls. No one is ever going to convince me that schools who bring in players every year are on an equal scale with traditional schools who aren't allowed to do that. With that said, here is the HoopsUSA Pre-Season three category......Top Twenty Five Teams
