PALM BEACH COUNTY – We have reached the end of the 2021-2022 regular season.

At this point, we have seen more than enough from our top boys basketball teams in Palm Beach County.

As we move on to district tournament week – which will start tonight (Feb. 7) – we will release our fourth set of rankings that come exclusively from MaxPreps. 

And moving forward, all weekly rankings from now until early March will be based solely on MaxPreps.

Let us get to our latest Top 10 and Close to 10 boys basketball team rankings.

Lake Worth is our No. 1 team for a reason. You can see Trojans junior Hedrens Barthelus hustling on the court and doing what he can to help elevate his team.
