zewing - > School House Zach -> Central Section boys basketball rankings, Feb. 2
Central Section boys basketball rankings, Feb. 2

Girls rankings below or at this link. Again, I promise some soccer rankings by the end of the week.

BOYS
1. Clovis East (19-4, 4-0 TRAC, Division I, last week: 1) —
 Who would have thought the Timberwolves would be tested more by Buchanan than Clovis West? Goes to show you the depth of the TRAC — and that maybe, just maybe, Clovis East's armor has a small chink. Still going to be tough to knock from this perch.
LAST WEEK: W 63-52 vs. No. 6 Clovis West, W 62-59 at Clovis-Buchanan
THIS WEEK: Wednesday vs. Madera, Friday vs. No. 6 Clovis

2. Liberty (19-3, 6-1 SEYL, Division II, last week: 2) — Going into East's gym and avenging its only league loss was as big a statement by Liberty as previous week's gem against Garces. They've still got the Rams at least once more, and then possibly again in the playoffs, at Selland Arena.
LAST WEEK: W 81-53 at Foothill, W 68-50 at No. 12 East
THIS WEEK: Thursday vs. Highland

3. Garces (14-6, 6-1 SEYL, Division II, last week: 3) — Garces had flirted with century mark all season and finally got it against Golden Valley. Most of the heavy lifting is still to come — Garces has to show it can win close games. Tonight brings the first chance in a tougher-than-you-think battle at the Driller Gym.
LAST WEEK: W 94-58 at Highland, W 100-59 vs. Golden Valley
THIS WEEK: Monday at Bakersfield, Friday vs. West

4. Fresno-Central (16-5, 3-1 TRAC, Division I, last week: 5) — No team's stock has risen as far in league play as the Grizzlies, which got another feather in the cap by knocking off Clovis this week. Too bad Central flopped in its only meeting with Clovis East this year. No looking forward to the rematch, though: Another tough week awaits.
LAST WEEK: W 69-48 vs. Madera, W 67-59 at No. 4 Clovis
THIS WEEK: Wednsday vs. Buchanan, Friday at No. 5 Clovis West

5. Clovis West (11-6, 1-2 TRAC, Division I, last week: 6) — Yeah, the Golden Eagles move up a spot when their only known result is a loss (reminder to coaches: Get those scores up on MaxPreps). But sixth was too low for this team anyway. I have a feeling they'll prove it in a rematch with Central.
LAST WEEK: L 63-52 at No. 1 Clovis East, ?? at Madera
THIS WEEK: Wednesday vs. No. 6 Clovis, Friday vs. No. 4 Fresno-Central

6. Clovis (16-9, 2-2 TRAC, Division I, last week: 4) — It's hard to avoid these 1-and-1 weeks in the TRAC, where everyone save Madera is an absolute final exam. Clovis likely will drop at least one more this week; a sweep will whoosh the Cougars into at least the top three of the rankings.
LAST WEEK: W 58-51 at Clovis-Buchanan, L 67-59 vs. No. 5 Fresno-Central
THIS WEEK: Wednesday at No. 5 Clovis West, Friday at No. 1 Clovis East

7. Fresno-Edison (16-6, 4-0 CMAC, Division I, last week: 7) — It's hard to imagine Edison dropping below this spot, which is why it's hard to imagine the Tigers could be the No. 5 seed in the playoffs and on the road in the quarterfinals. But, hey, that's life in D-I.
LAST WEEK: W 67-29 vs. Sanger, W 79-57 at Fresno-Hoover
THIS WEEK: Wednesday vs. Reedley, Friday at Clovis North

8. Lemoore (23-4, 7-0 WYL, Division II, last week: 8) — West Yosemite League showdown victory against Hanford lost some luster when the Bullpups turned around and lost to Redwood. Now the Tigers have to complete a sweep of the Rangers.
LAST WEEK: W 81-68 vs. Hanford, W 83-55 vs. Hanford West
THIS WEEK: Thursday at No. 14 Visalia-Redwood

9. Fresno-Sunnyside (16-5, 3-0 NYL, Division II, last week: 9) — A win against Memorial is good enough to keep the Wildcats in the Division II conversation and in the top 10; I'm wondering how they did against tough Madera South on Friday; I'll do some digging and amend the rankings if necessary.
LAST WEEK: W 57-55 vs. No. 13 Fresno-San Joaquin Memorial, ?? at Madera South
THIS WEEK: Wednesday vs. Fresno-Roosevelt, Friday vs. Fresno

10. Centennial (17-4, 6-0 SWYL, Division I, last week: 10) — After a huge league win against Ridgeview, Hawks coach Alex Lee did some mild lobbying for his team to move up one spot. Not greedy; he just wanted one spot. I came close, but right now, Sunnyside gets the nod with a few more quality wins.
LAST WEEK: W 67-57 vs. Ridgeview
THIS WEEK: Wednesday vs. West, Friday at South

11. San Luis Obispo-Mission Prep (16-9, freelance, Division V, last week: 14) — Lofty ranking for a school not many have had a chance to see; it comes tomorrow night when the Royals invade Bakersfield Christian.
LAST WEEK: W 56-46 at Pebble Beach-Stevenson, W 56-23 vs. Cambria-Coast Union, W 42-41 vs. Salinas-Palma
THIS WEEK: Tuesday at Bakersfield Christian, Saturday vs. Fowler

12. Visalia-Central Valley Christian (20-4, 7-0 CSL, Division V, last week: 15) — I'm always a little nervous about putting a couple of small-school teams up in the rankings, but I need to remind myself: This is a team that beat East early in the year and lost to Clovis West by a single point.
LAST WEEK: W 56-36 at Exeter, W 74-24 at Coalinga
THIS WEEK: Tuesday at Reedley-Immanuel

13. Fresno-San Joaquin Memorial (14-9, 3-1 NYL, Division II, last week: 13) — Wouldn't it be cool if this year's Holy Bowl, cancelled during the regular season, happened in the Division II semifinals? It could definitely happen, though it was Memorial's turn to host.
LAST WEEK: L 57-55 at No. 9 Fresno-Sunnyside, W 72-53 vs. Fresno-McLane
THIS WEEK: Wednesday vs. Madera South, Friday vs. Fresno-Roosevelt

14. Visalia-Redwood (18-8, 4-3 WYL, Division II, last week: NR) — Revolving door that is the West Yosemite League this week shines on the Rangers, who opened league play 0-3 but are back in business. Now, if they could just turn around those other two losses.
LAST WEEK: W 55-50 vs. Visalia-Mt. Whitney, W 64-61 vs. No. 11 Hanford
THIS WEEK: Tuesday at Hanford West, Thursday vs. No. 8 Lemoore

15. East (11-9, 5-2 SEYL, Division II, last week: 12) — This is a fun and yet frustrating team to watch. So much talent, but so much of it goes for naught when the going gets tough. The Blades proved at Liberty they have it in them; they've got a couple more chances to do it again.
LAST WEEK: W 60-56 at North, L 68-50 vs. No. 2 Liberty
THIS WEEK: Tuesday vs. Highland, Thursday at Golden Valley

Dropped out: No. 11 Hanford
Waiting: Hanford, Clovis-Buchanan, Bakersfield, Bakersfield Christian, Visalia-El Diamante, Ridgeview, Hanford West, Fresno-Bullard, Tulare Western
