Feb. 8: Top teams hold serve in boys rankings

The top of the Patch Northern Region Coaches poll bunched up, but the top held steady, with T.C. Williams, Herndon, Chantilly and Annandale holding on to the first four spots for the final week of the regular season.

There was little action anywhere in the rankings, as other than Woodson and Lake Braddock swapping the No. 5 and No. 7 spots, everything else remained the same. Westfield, tied for 10th with Yorktown last week, fell out of the rankings.
