Central Section boys basketball rankings, Feb. 10

Girls rankings below or at this link.

These rankings and records do not reflect Tuesday night's games.

BOYS
1. Clovis East (20-4, 5-0 TRAC, Division I, last week: 1) — Remember when we thought the race for No. 1 in the section was wide-open? Maybe it still is, but the Timberwolves haven't left this spot in months. Ten straight wins against good competition will do that.
LAST WEEK: W 68-47 vs. Madera, W 68-42 vs. No. 6 Clovis
THIS WEEK: Wednesday at No. 6 Fresno-Central, Friday at No. 3 Clovis West

2. Liberty (20-3, 7-1 SEYL, Division II, last week: 2) — No more excuses or talk of a fluke: Based on what's been done on the court, this is absolutely the section's No. 2 team thus far. That said, Thursday's game against resurgent Bakersfield is a trap.
LAST WEEK: W 64-42 vs. Highland
THIS WEEK: Tuesday vs. Golden Valley, Thursday at Bakersfield

3. Clovis West (14-6, 4-2 TRAC, Division I, last week: 5) — The thing about the TRAC is that you can't look forward to games like Friday's until the teams involved take care of business Wednesday against other capable rivals.
LAST WEEK: W 64-55 vs. No. 6 Clovis, W 63-51 vs. No. 4 Fresno-Central
THIS WEEK: Wednesday at Clovis-Buchanan, Friday vs. No. 1 Clovis East

4. Garces (16-6, 7-1 SEYL, Division II, last week: 3) — A win is a win, but it raises some question marks when the Rams need a late flurry and overtime to edge Bakersfield and 35 points from Chris Dixon to squeak one out against West.
LAST WEEK: W 64-54 (OT) at Bakersfield, W 61-60 vs. West
THIS WEEK: Tuesday vs. Foothill, Thursday at No. 13 East

5. Fresno-Edison (18-6, 6-0 CMAC, Division I, last week: 7) — Could the Tigers slip into a No. 2 seed and the rights to a home game in the D-I semifinals? Maybe. They'd better keep an eye on surging Bullard, first.
LAST WEEK: W 82-36 vs. Reedley, W 71-43 at Clovis North
THIS WEEK: Wednesday vs. Fresno-Bullard, Friday at Sanger

6. Fresno-Central (17-6, 4-2 TRAC, Division I, last week: 4) — The Grizzlies are grinding through that hellacious league. They'd like to put a spring in their step by improving on last month's blowout loss to Clovis East.
LAST WEEK: W 74-66 vs. Clovis-Buchanan, L 63-51 at No. 5 Clovis West
THIS WEEK: Wednesday vs. No. 1 Clovis East, Friday at Madera

7. Clovis (16-11, 2-4 TRAC, Division I, last week: 6) — It's hard to punish the Cougars too much for losing to their crosstown rivals, but they'd better get things under control or that league record will slip very quickly.
LAST WEEK: L 64-55 at No. 5 Clovis West, L 68-42 at No. 1 Clovis East
THIS WEEK: Wednesday vs. Madera, Friday vs. Clovis-Buchanan

8. Lemoore (24-4, 8-0 WYL, Division II, last week: 8) — Wanna know why the third Garces-Liberty game is so important? Whoever ends up with the No. 2 seed in D-II has to tangle with Lemoore, winners of 12 straight, in the semis.
LAST WEEK: W 69-59 at No. 14 Visalia-Redwood
THIS WEEK: Wednesday vs. Visalia-Mt. Whitney, Friday at Visalia-El Diamante

9. Fresno-Sunnyside (19-5, 6-0 NYL, Division II, last week: 9) — That's not to say, of course, that Sunnyside (or Memorial, or Hanford, or East) will be a picnic for the other top seed. The D-II brackets, boys and girls both, are going to be a lot of fun as they unfold.
LAST WEEK: W vs. Fresno-Roosevelt, W 81-58 vs. Fresno
THIS WEEK: Wednesday at Fresno-McLane, Friday at No. 12 Fresno-San Joaquin Memorial

10. Centennial (19-4, 8-0 SWYL, Division I, last week: 10) — Three of the Golden Hawks' last four (three on the road) are against North, Stockdale and Ridgeview, the other three quality teams in the league. But so far, CHS has been the class of the SWYL.
LAST WEEK: W 60-49 vs. West, W 66-53 at South
THIS WEEK: Wednesday at North, Friday vs. Stockdale

11. Visalia-Central Valley Christian (21-4, 8-0 CSL, Division V, last week: 12) — A few days after laying a 50-point beating on Coalinga, CVC had to erase an 8-point fourth-quarter deficit to stay unbeaten in league.
LAST WEEK: W 67-66 at Reedley-Immanuel
THIS WEEK: Tuesday vs. Kingsburg, Friday at Dinuba

12. Fresno-San Joaquin Memorial (16-9, 5-1 NYL, Division II, last week: 13) — The Panthers' rematch with Sunnyside to basically decide the North Yosemite League is the Friday the 13th undercard to Clovis East-Clovis West.
LAST WEEK: W 85-45 vs. Madera South, W 70-46 vs. Fresno-Roosevelt
THIS WEEK: Wednesday at Fresno, Friday vs. No. 9 Fresno-Sunnyside

13. East (12-9, 6-2 SEYL, Division II, last week: 15) — Right when you forget about the Blades is when they usually make another statement, but a huge cause for concern comes flying out of this weekend's rumor mill: Has big man D.J. Shelton quit the team? (and if so, was East stunned by Golden Valley in an unreported game?)
LAST WEEK: W 72-37 vs. Highland, ?? at Golden Valley
THIS WEEK: Tuesday vs. Bakersfield, Thursday vs. No. 4 Garces

14. Hanford (17-7, 7-2 WYL, Division II, last week: NR) — The Bullpups peek back into the rankings after Bakersfield Christian knocks off Mission Prep. Five players average at least six points a game.
LAST WEEK: W 79-65 vs. Visalia-Golden West, W 67-47 at Visalia-El Diamante
THIS WEEK: Wednesday at Hanford West

15. Visalia-Redwood (19-9, 5-4 WYL, Division II, last week: 14) — Up one at the end of three, the Rangers couldn't hang on at home against Lemoore and lost any shot they had at a league title. Three wins to end the year are necessary for a decent playoff seed.
LAST WEEK: W 66-41 at Hanford West, L 69-59 vs. No. 8 Lemoore
THIS WEEK: Wednesday vs. Visalia-El Diamante, Friday at Visalia-Golden West

Dropped out: No. 11 SLO-Mission Prep
Waiting: Bakersfield Christian, Bakersfield, SLO-Mission Prep, Ridgeview, Fresno-Bullard, Clovis-Buchanan, Visalia-El Diamante, Stockdale
