There are only two new teams able to crack the latest edition of the FAB 50 National Team Rankings powered by Ballislife.com<\/i>, but there is movement as teams look to avoid being upset right before the competition heats up in the playoffs. It looks like No. 1 Sunrise Christian Academy (Bel Aire, Kan.) will be the top seed at GEICO Nationals, whose field will be announced on March 12.<\/b><\/p>\n

Only two teams have a strong enough resume to crack the FAB 50 National Team Rankings<\/strong> powered by Ballislife.com<\/i> this week, as a vast majority of the nation's elite teams won games last week. The playoffs have started in some selected states, will begin this week in others, while some look to avoid a late-season upset that would cause unfavorable seeding or playoff positioning.<\/p>\n

The two new ranked teams this week are No. 44 North Hills (Pittsburgh, Pa.) and No. 50 Catholic Central (Grand Rapids, Mich.). North Hills is rewarded as an unbeaten club and as the Keystone State's top-rated team in Class 6A. The Cougars were previously ranked and have done enough to warrant a return in the nation's longest-running weekly poll in front of King (Detroit, Mich.) as Michigan's top-rated team by the Detroit Free Press<\/em>.<\/p>\n
