As usual, the Clovis West girls basketball team remains The Bee’s top-ranked team after going through the week undefeated.

The Golden Eagles have a 21-0 overall record and look to remain perfect with games against Clovis and Clovis North this week.

No. 10 St. Joseph is in the rankings after starting the season 0-3, but the Knights faced tough competition and have been on a roll — winning their past six after losing to Archbishop Mitty.

No. 15 Cabrillo and No. 20 Dinuba entered the rankings.

On the boys side, things remain the same with St. Joseph No. 1 followed by Clovis North.
