The boys' basketball Top 20 has been a bit volatile as of late, with the Catholic Conference and Boston City League teams beating up on each other left and right, but here's how things have shaken out this week:
Newton North (12-0) is the new No. 2, followed by two Catholic Conference teams, in Catholic Memorial (11-2) and BC High (11-3), with Acton-Boxboro (13-1) rounding out the top five.
Stoughton's (11-1) impressive win over King Philip (11-2) last week elevated the Black Knights from No. 10 to No. 6.
At 12-1, we've crowned No. 7 Brighton king of the Boston City League, followed by No. 10 Madison Park (12-1), No. 11 New Mission (7-3), No. 18 Charlestown (9-3).
Two undefeateds make their first appearances in the Top 20 this week, in No. 17 Wareham (14-0) and No. 19 Danvers (8-0).
Make sure to check out this week's notebook team, No. 13 Brockton (9-1). It'll be interesting to see if they can avoid the cure of the notebook, as both Boston Latin and Reading have fallen out of the Top 20 since being featured.
