The California high school boys basketball 2025-26 campaign is in its final weeks of the regular season, but little has changed with the latest set of rankings.

Remaining the No. 1 team in our second set of California high school boys basketball rankings are the
Sierra Canyon Trailblazers, which are off to a 20-1 start as they just defeated a very good No. 2 ranked Harvard-Westlake squad. Besides the Trailblazers and Wolverines, but who else should we watch for out of California when it comes to the state’s top high school boys basketball teams?

The Massey Ratings, officially used during the BCS era, is a model that ranks sports teams by analyzing game outcomes, strength of schedule, and margin of victory.

Here’s a look at the top 25 teams in the Golden State according to the Massey Ratings, which ranks teams by analyzing game outcomes, strength of schedule and margin of victory, as of Jan. 27.

1. Sierra Canyon Trailblazers (20-1)

The California Top 25 high school boys rankings are topped once again by the Sierra Canyon Trailblazers (20-1), winners of 15 straight games and are the hottest high school boys basketball team out of the Golden State currently. The Trailblazers picked up an impressive win over No. 2 ranked Harvard-Westlake last week. Sierra Canyon is as good as they come in the country as they feature 5-Star+ Brandon McCoy at combo guard along with 2027 four-star small forward Maximo Adams (North Carolina commitment).

2. Harvard-Westlake Wolverines (20-3)

Coming in right behind Sierra Canyon is the Harvard-Westlake Wolverines (20-3), which ended up falling to the Trailblazers in a 55-47 decision last week. The Wolverines feature one of the more talented rosters around as Havard-Westlake 2026 four-star shooting guard Joe Sterling (Texas signee) and 2027 three-star guard Cole Holden. Harvard-Westlake close out the regular season with a matchup against No. 32 St. Francis tonight.

3. Santa Margarita Catholic Eagles (21-3)

The Santa Margarita Catholic Eagles (21-3) are not just making waves on the high school football end of things, but also on the hardwood this winter. The Eagles have remained one of the country’s nationally ranked teams this season and with the talent they have dotted along the roster, it’s easy to see why Santa Margarita Catholic is highly regarded. The Eagles have the likes of talents Kaiden Bailey (Georgia Tech signee), Brayden Kyman (Washington State commitment) and Drew Anderson (Oregon State commit). The hot ticket this week is when Santa Margarita Catholic squares off with No. 8 St. John Bosco on Wednesday night.

4. Redondo Union Sea Hawks (21-3)

Not many teams have been playing as well as the Redondo Union Sea Hawks (21-3) as the team has won 16 of their last 17 games, with the only loss coming against Arizona’s No. 1 ranked Sunnyslope. The Sea Hawks are currently riding a 7-game winning streak as they head into the final two contests of the regular season before the CIF postseason begins.

5. Notre Dame Knights (17-6)

Rounding out the Top 5 of the California high school boys basketball rankings are the Notre Dame Knights (17-6), which have played arguably one of the toughest schedules in the land. As of late, the Knights have faced the likes of national powers Sierra Canyon, Archbishop Stepinac (N.Y.) and Paul VI Catholic (Va.), respectively. Notre Dame is led by a pair of future Division I players in 2027 four-star point guard NaVorro Bowman Jr. and 2026 three-star small forward Zach White (San Diego commitment). The Knights latest victory was a 71-66 win over Harvard-Westlake.
