The big news from a rankings perspective came at the Thanksgiving Hoopfest, as preseason FAB 50 No. 17 Sunrise Christian Academy (Bel Aire, Kan.) upped its record to 4-0 with a big 71-55 victory over preseason No. 15 Guyer (Denton, Texas), the preseason top-rated team from the Lone Star State. Despite 21 points from Oklahoma-bound <strong>De'Vion Harmon<\/strong>, Guyer just didn't have enough inside to keep up with the talented Buffaloes. Power forward <strong>Jalyn Turner<\/strong>, a 6-foot-6 senior, had 12 points, while UCLA-bound <strong>Grant Sherfield<\/strong> had 11 points and seven rebounds. Sunrise Christian also got a impactful performance from elite 2020 big man <strong>N'Faly Dante<\/strong>, who finished with 11 points and could big the difference-maker in the Buffaloes' big games this season.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Sunrise Christian Academy couldn't celebrate too long as tragedy struck Sunday evening after the team returned to the Wichita area. <strong>Bryce Cook<\/strong>, a 5-foot-7 dynamo headed to SMU who provides a big spark off the bench, reportedly suffered a stroke. He was found unresponsive, but was rushed to Wesley Medical Center in Wichita and is now recovering. According to reports, he has use of his extremities but coach <strong>Luke Barnwell<\/strong> wasn't available for further information on Monday.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">??

University School fell 12 spots in this week's rankings to a spot right behind Guyer, which only falls one spot from its <a href=\"https:\/\/ballislife.com\/preseason-2018-19-fab-50-top-15-teams\/\">preseason positioning<\/a> because Sunrise Christian Academy may be that good.

Meadowcreek opened up its season with a 70-54 victory over No. 50 Wheeler (Marietta, Ga.), which handed preseason No. 11 Norcross (Nocross, Ga.) one of its two losses and also defeated preseason No. 35 Holy Spirit Prep (Atlanta, Ga.) in overtime at the <em>UA Hard In The Paint Classic<\/em>. Norcross' 79-69 loss to Southwest DeKalb (Decatur, Ga.) is the one that knocked the Blue Devils from the FAB 50.<\/p>\n<p>At the Holiday Hoopsgiving, Meadowcreek fell to No. 10 Wasatch Academy (Mt.
