24-25 FVA Basketball Power/Trust Rankings (updated 2/1)
1. Kaukauna 14-3 (10-2)
The Ghosts have won seven straight games and thumped Neenah on Friday night. They look as dominant as ever offensively with Keegan Van Kauwenberg leading the way.
Upcoming Games: @Hortonville, Appleton West, Racine Case
2. Fond du Lac 13-5 (10-2)
The Cardinals solidified themselves at #2 with another win over Neenah on Tuesday.
Upcoming Games: Appleton West, Oshkosh West
3. Neenah 10-5 (8-4)
I did not expect a 20+ loss to Kaukauna Friday night. Despite the loss I still trust the Rockets more than most teams in the FVA.
Upcoming Games: Appleton East, @Oshkosh North, WI Lutheran
4. Appleton North 12-4 (9-3)
It feels as if Appleton North is quietly waiting in the weeds to pounce and take over the top spot in the FVA. At 9-3 and a win over Kaukauna, they're only a game back of the leaders.
Upcoming Games: Oshkosh North, @Kimberly, Park Center
5. Hortonville 10-5 (7-5)
The Polar Bears roared back at Fond du Lac and almost pulled off a massive comeback. But instead it was their third straight loss and are in danger of dropping down in the Power Rankings.
Upcoming Games: Kaukauna, Appleton East, @Oconomowoc
6. Oshkosh North 10-8 (6-6)
Bryce Ott is back and that should scare the rest of the FVA. I expect the Spartans to look like a new team for the second half of the season.
Upcoming Games: @Appleton North, Neenah
7. Kimberly 7-9 (5-7)
The Papermakers got a much needed road win against Hortonville on Tuesday but remain in seventh.
Upcoming Games: @Oshkosh West, Appleton North
8. Appleton East 5-12 (3-9)
The Patriots will need to pull off an upset if they want to get out of the eighth spot.
Upcoming Games: @Neenah, @Hortonville
9. Oshkosh West 5-12 (2-10)
Like AE, the Wildcats will have to pull a major upset if they want to move up in the rankings.
Upcoming Games: Kimberly, @Fond du Lac
10. Appleton West 1-14 (0-12)
The Terrors remain in tenth in the Power Rankings.
Upcoming Games: @Fond du Lac, @Kaukauna, @Kenosha Indian Trail
