It’s no coincidence that three of the four California players chosen for the West squad in this year’s McDonald’s All-American Game are from the top three teams in these rankings, and the fourth is from a school that has produced the most girls to play in the prestigious event. As things shake out and as we drive towards the various section playoffs, some adjustments were made that brought in two newcomers to the first 25 of this week’s rankings. Lynwood & Flintridge Prep also go in as newcomers.
