It's a New Year and it's time for new some rankings. A snowstorm has wreaked havoc on the Virginia High School Basketball schedule to an extent, but most all are back in school by now and this weekend marks Session 1 of the VirginiaPreps.com Basketball Classic - set for Saturday, January 13, 2018 at Henrico High School in Richmond.

Let's get to the new rankings with where they stand through this past Tuesday's games, plus hyperlinks to each team preview of those that were ranked in our Top Ten to begin the 2017-18 campaign...
