After a Terrible Tuesday, where Tampa Prep fell to Tampa Catholic and Jesuit owned Berkeley Prep, Bay Area Hoops and BCP had a hard time ranking the best hoop teams in Hillsborough County. Prior to Tuesday, Tampa Prep would have likely had the #1 spot. But then Tuesday happened which pushed Jesuit to the top with a monster match up vs Tampa Catholic tomorrow. Funny, the city rival, Tampa Catholic helped Jesuit jump to the top and also has a chance to knock them down.
Take a look. Here is BayAreaHoops.com and BCP Top 13 to date.
