Boys basketball rankings: Shiloh takes over No. 1 in 6A

Shiloh defeated then-No. 4 Buford 53-43 to take first place in Region 8 while previous No. 1 Wheeler, the defending champion, lost Monday to Marshall, the top public school team in Virginia, 91-88 and fell to 14-4.

A bigger factor in the rankings flip was a common opponent. Shiloh has beaten McEachern, a top 10 Class 7A team that beat Wheeler in December.

Shiloh has reached the state round of 16 the past three seasons and never won a state title.

Other No. 1 teams remained the same with three weeks remaining in the regular season.
