Illinois Preps Insider girls basketball top-20: Week 4

Things seemed have to have settled, at least for a week.

Only a couple of top-20 matchups and only one upset so not a whole lot of movement this week. I fully expect that to change with Christmas tournaments coming up.

Quick note, I know this came out late but I didn’t not count Monday’s slate of games in this weeks rankings.

1. Whitney Young (6-1) 1

Starting to find their groove

2. Maine West (12-0) 6

It’s really been an impressive three year stretch

3. Fremd (10-0) 3

Cruising through the MSL

4. Mother McAuley (10-0) 4

Another really solid win over Loyola

5. Benet (10-2) 5

Came out with a vengeance this week

6. Marist (9-1) 6

Tough slate of games next week

7. Nazareth (8-0) 7

Closer than expected against Philips

8. Evanston (7-1) 8

Rematch against Maine West looms

9. Montini (7-1) 10

Young ones starting to grow up

10. Kenwood (7-1) 11

Relatively quiet week in comparison to the rest of the top-20

11. Loyola (8-2) 9

Just a brutal part of the schedule

12. Bolingbrook (4-2) 12

Will finally see some in state competition

13. St. Ignatius (7-2) 13

So close to breaking out

14. Thornwood (7-0) 16

Really nice away win over LWW

15. Simeon (6-4) 17

Dominating conference play

16. New Trier (9-3) 18

Navigated a tricky three game stretch

17. Downers Grove North (6-2) 19

Rivalry week with DGS

18. Libertyville (8-2) 20

Young and talented

19. Lincoln-Way West (7-2) 14

Need to find that signature win

20. Rolling Meadows (9-2) 15

Disappointing loss against Buffalo Grove
