By Michael Odom | December 8, 2025 |

Teams ranked in the West Tennessee High School Basketball Rankings continue to fluctuate after three weeks of the 2025-26 season.

Football is officially over so Huntingdon, McKenzie, University School of Jackson and Westview will have all of their players back this week.

Two new boys teams entered into the rankings in Bolivar and Hardin County, who are off to hot starts, and Jackson Central-Merry entered into the girls rankings.

Only two weeks of action remains before the Christmas break, so look for some good games across West Tennessee this week.
