Other Explanation Notes are listed at the end of the rankings.

HOOPSUSA TOP TRADITIONAL AND NATIONAL TEAMS
Note:  The main purpose of these ratings is to recognize as many school as possible.  The purpose of these ratings is to recognize as many teams as possible and to separate Traditional Schools from other schools who are not members of their State Associations.  Information and won-loss records for teams in the "National" Rating are not always readily avaibale so I would appreciate any help in getting that poll as correct as possible.  Recognizing and listing teams is more important to me than how high a team is rated.  However, if anyone feels that a team has not been rated high enough or has been left out, please let me know.  I encourage any help in getting up-to-date information on these teams and the addition of other schools that should be included.  I am assuming that none of the listed schools in the "National" category have fifth year players.  If there are any fifth year schools listed I would appreciate notification so that they can be moved to the Prep School Division.

*** State Champions   ** State Runner-Up   * City Champion
**** Tournament Of Champions Winner 


The CONSENSUS RATING below is a combination of the four major polls.  No HOOPSUSA information is included in that rating.  SPECIAL NOTE:  I am still updating my ratings and teams may not appear in final order.  For now I have the Terrific Three Hundred in the Traditional Rating and the Top One Hundred in the "National" Rating.  Some schools in this category may have a fifth year player but not made up entirely of fifth year players which would put them in the Prep School category listed below.  Also listed below is the Top Fifty Christian Schools in America.  As mentioned previously, no one really knows who the top teams are and if coaches, fans or members of the media feel I have left any team out, I invite opinions and suggestions that can help improve the ratings.
