Paul VI Catholic Panthers (34-2) holds down the second spot for the second third consecutive week in our latest set of Top 25 national high school boys basketball rankings. This team has played well all season long behind the ultra-competitive play of 2026 five-star shooting guard Jordan Smith Jr. (Arkansas commitment) as they have won 34 games through 36 played. Lone losses of the season thus far for Paul VI Catholic came against Prolific Prep and Calvary Christian Academy, respectively. Paul VI Catholic have already won third straight third consecutive Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC) tournament championship and fourth straight Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association (VISAA) state title.
Easily considered one of the best high school boys basketball teams in the country is SPIRE Academy (18-2), under the direction of the one of the best coaches in the country in Kevin Boyle, has been steady as the country’s No. 3. SPIRE Academy has one of the top rosters in the entire country as they feature the likes of four-star combo guard King Gibson and four-star small forward Alex Constanza (Georgetown commit). SPIRE Academy bounced back from a loss to nationally ranked Montverde Academy (Fla.) back on Feb. 21 versus Long Island Lutheran (NY), winning 76-57.
