New Hanover High School’s boys basketball team has moved up in the HSOT Statewide Top 25 rankings after securing impressive victories against strong competitors.

This week, New Hanover rose to the sixth spot in the state rankings following their victory over Laney, with a margin of over 26 points for the second time in a matter of weeks.

Northwood dropped to 7th place to accommodate New Hanover, with a record of 19-3.

Last week, Mount Tabor, United Faith Christian Academy, and South Central lost and were removed from the Top 25. Swansboro, The Burlington School, and Panther Creek have taken their places.
