Illinois HS Basketball Rankings (12/20)

BENTON - A lot of big games have been played this week and some new names have been added to the list. After seeing some other websites' "rankings" the past few weeks, I no longer feel the need to explain to anyone why I have a certain team in a certain spot. Some of those have just been flat out bad. Some new names have been added to the Top 10 this week so let's jump right into it.
