The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association has released its latest power rankings for boys basketball, girls basketball, boys hockey and girls hockey.
The area’s boys and girls hockey teams have been far more dominant so far this winter than their basketball counterparts.
Across five divisions in boys and girls basketball, only three local teams are ranked in the top 10.
Compare that to hockey, where six boys teams are ranked in the top 10 in the four divisions, and one girls team is in the top 10.
Records do not reflect Tuesday’s games.
