Top 10 HS Basketball Poll – February 8, 2022

With Mother Nature flexing her muscles last week, a lot of teams were not able to get on the court, but the ones that did made things interesting in this week’s HSSC/Scoops with Danny Mac Top 10 Poll.

In boys’ action, Vashon remains in the top spot after an impressive win over Chicago Whitney Young Saturday evening at the O’Fallon Shootout. On the girls’ side, Incarnate Word stays in the No. 1 position after winning the Webster Winter Challenge.
