Our preseason Cal-Hi Sports state boys basketball rankings will begin to be released next week. As a teaser, below are the preseason West Region Top 20 rankings as released on Tuesday by Ballislife.com. Many California teams are mentioned.
Note: The preseason FAB 50 region-by-region Top 20 rankings were compiled from five separate regions of the nation. These are the same regions that Cal-Hi Sports editor Mark Tennis worked on for many years as executive editor for Student Sports and deputy sports editor for ESPN. No one across the country ranks as many high school basketball teams as the FAB 50 franchise that is produced by Cal-Hi Sports Managing Editor Ronnie Flores.
