As the regular season winds down to a close, there was a lot of shake-up in this week’s 2024-25 Texas high school boys basketball power rankings.
Shadow Creek moves into the top five after previous-No. 5 Duncanville fell to Lancaster at home. Lancaster moved up five spots to No. 6 due to the win. Duncanville is No. 10.
North Crowley, Highland Park, Round Rock Westwood and Cibolo Steele all suffered defeats last week, causing drops in the rankings for each. For Steele, it was a complete fallout, making way for Fort Bend Travis to climb into the rankings and debut at No. 23.
