MileHigh Prep Report Girls Basketball Rankings

MileHigh Prep Report Girls Basketball Week 8 Rankings (Class 4A thru 1A)

We move deeper and deeper into January and I feel this is when things really start to matter in terms of Districts, Regionals, and State.  I feel the basketball season has 4 parts.  Part 1 is before Christmas, Part 2 is after Christmas/League Play, Part 3 is the District Tournament/Regionals, and Part 4 is the State Tournament.  Also, this week look for an article by Kerry Sherman on 1A Boys and Girls basketball.
