No changes at the top this week in the rankings. However, there are eight new teams in the Top Tens and some movement across each division, the most being in Class 6.

With the likes of Woodside and Kellam as well as Franklin County all dropping out, it opens the door for new entrants like Oakton, Cox and Lake Braddock.

As we get set for Session 2 of the Tenth Annual VirginiaPreps.com Basketball Classic at Green Run High School in Virginia Beach on January 27th, we have just five undefeated teams remaining in VHSL Basketball.

See the full rankings below, plus you can click on team previews of those hyperlinked for schools that were ranked in our Top Ten to begin the 2017-18 campaign to read more on those schools...
