Michael O’Brien’s Super 25 high school basketball rankings for March 8, 2020

New additions to the Super 25

Morton (23-7): Tony Martinucci’s fun group is back in the rankings. The Mustangs knocked off York in the regional final. Jesus Perez is a rock-solid point guard and when Kendell Nichols is on they are extremely tough to handle.
