By Michael Odom | January 28, 2025 |

With nine weeks of the high school basketball season, the best teams are rising to the top and are trying to earn the No. 1 seeds going into tournaments.

The two No. 1 teams from last week – South Side boys and Westview girls – remained the No. 1 teams, as both entered Week 10 with one loss each.

But there is a team in the boys’ rankings as South Gibson is tied for first place in District 13-3A and has now entered the rankings.

Here are the updated West Tennessee High School Basketball Rankings after nine weeks of the regular season:
