NEW GIRLS BASKETBALL
TOP 20 OVERALL RANKINGS
As is evidenced by the fact there was no movement in the first 14
spots of this week's State 20 rankings, this is the time of the year
when most of the top teams are making easy work of league opponents.
There are some exceptions to that rule, however, such as those teams
in the highly-competitive West Catholic Athletic League, which is still
up for grabs.
Fifth-ranked St. Ignatius of San Francisco would appear to be in the
driver's seat but the Wildcats will get tested by both state-ranked
Archbishop Mitty and Sacred Heart Cathedral. No. 4 Chaminade and No. 17
Alemany also still have to play again in the Mission League.

girls aren't exactly going to fall off the map once Katie Lou Samuelson
