The lastest National Prep Poll is out and Kevin Boyle’s St. Patrick Celtics (3-0) are No. 2 behind top-ranked Ohio State-bound Jared Sullinger and Columbus (Ohio) Northland (3-0).
Northland handed Findlay Prep, the reigning high school national champ, its lone loss of the season.
Oak Hill (16-0) and once-beaten Findlay (Nev. ) Prep (16-1) are 3-4, respectively.
Damon Wright’s Paterson Catholic club moved from No. 23 to No. 8 after winning the City of Palms Classic behind 17 points from Seton Hall-bound forward Fuquan Edwin.
Dan Hurley’s St. Benedict’s team (5-1), which came in 3rd at City of Palms, is No. 15, meaning three of the top 15 teams are from within a 15-mile radius in New Jersey.
Speaking of the Hurleys, check out Bob and Dan coaching their respective teams Jan. 24 in the Izod High School Showcase at Caldwell College.
