Analysis by Christopher Lawlor

Quiet: No new teams enter the Super 25 rankings this week. No. 25 Arlington Country Day (Jacksonville) slips 10 spots after losing to No. 6 South Gwinnett (Snellville, Ga.) 88-70.

Player of the week: G Louis Williams of No. 6 South Gwinnett (Snellville, Ga.) averaged 33.3 points for three games. Williams, who signed with Georgia, had 30 points, eight rebounds, five assists and four steals in an 88-70 victory over Arlington Country Day (Jacksonville).

Game of the week: Wednesday, No. 14 Westchester (Los Angeles) at No. 19 Fairfax (Los Angeles) at 7 p.m. ET. Westchester won the first meeting 68-60 and can clinch the Western League regular season title with another victory.

Tribute: Corey Rhodes, a 17-year-old senior guard from Lanier (Jackson, Miss.) who died Jan. 30 after collapsing at a practice, was honored before a game on Feb. 1. Rhodes' mother, Shirley, was presented with her son's No. 13 jersey, which was retired and will hang on the school's gymnasium wall.

Rim rocked: 6-6 F Bill Walker of North College Hill (Cincinnati) scored 19 points, sinking 9 of 11 shots, in a 74-39 victory over Bryan Station (Lexington, Ky.). The game was halted early in the fourth quarter when Walker, one of the nation's top sophomores, broke the rim on a dunk at Veterans Memorial Field House in Huntington, W.Va. After a delay it was decided that the rim could not be repaired, so the game was called.

Free throws: F Marcus Williams of Roosevelt (Seattle) scored a season-high 48 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in an 81-61 win vs. Franklin (Seattle). 6-9 Kevin Love of Lake Oswego (Ore.), one of the nation's top sophomores, had 40 points in a 77-56 win vs. St. Helens. Love had surgery on his right knee last summer and wasn't cleared to play until January. ... G Deonta Vaughn scored 33 points as No. 3 Arlington (Indianapolis) won its 19th straight game, beating South Bend Washington 106-78. Nyan Boateng of Lincoln (Brooklyn, N.Y.), who signed to attend Florida on a football scholarship, had 24 points in a 107-49 victory over New Utrecht (Brooklyn). ... Larry Davis scored 30 points, including three game-tying free throws with 5.7 seconds left in regulation, as No. 5 Christ the King (Queens, N.Y.) beat No. 12 Rice (Manhattan) 81-80 in overtime for the second time this season. ... Braham (Minn.), No. 9 in the Midwest, is averaging 85.3 points per game, outscoring opponents by over 42 points per game. Braham has surpassed 100 points in four of its last seven games.
