Southeastern Prep Falcons (26-7)<\/p>\n Right on the heels of many top national high school boys basketball teams is that of the\u00a0Southeastern Prep<\/a>\u00a0Falcons (26-7), which have looked every bit of the part as an elite team.

Columbus Explorers (26-6)<\/p>\n The\u00a0Columbus<\/a>\u00a0Explorers (26-6) as they\u2019ve shown they\u2019ll remain a cog in the national rankings and won a fourth straight Florida\u2019s Class 7A state championship when they narrowly defeated Sarasota. The roster is filled with Division I talent, led by five-star small forward Miami hurricanes commit\u00a0Caleb Gaskins<\/a>.
