The Los Angeles Daily News boys basketball Top 15 rankings as of December 15, 2025:
1. Sierra Canyon (7-1): The Trailblazers bounced back from their loss to Bishop McNamara (MD) with two lopsided wins over Rancho Christian and Bishop O’Dowd. Big test against Crean Lutheran Saturday at home.
2. Notre Dame (6-2): The Knights had a setback to Millennium (Arizona) but routed Village Christian 90-49 last Tuesday night.
3. Harvard-Westlake (9-1): Wolverines are rolling through a toned-down schedule before flying to Hawaii to play in the Iolani Classic Dec. 16-20.
4. Village Christian (7-3): Kudos to coach Julian Andrade for putting together a killer schedule. The Crusaders took their licks in losses to Crean Lutheran, Notre Dame and Santa Margarita, but will certainly grow from the losses.
5. Crespi (6-4): The Celts are challenging themselves, and that will always be recognized in these rankings. Crespi fell to Santa Maria St. Joseph and Crean Lutheran last week.
6. Chaminade (11-0): The Eagles have proven to be better than most thought by winning the games they’re supposed to. They really don’t get tested until a post-Christmas tournament in Hawaii.
7. St. Francis (8-2): 7-foot-3 Cherif Millogo is averaging 22.6 points, 13.6 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 3.9 blocks per game this season.
8. Alemany (10-1): The Warriors are off to a strong start with a game against Thousand Oaks coming next Monday.
9. Knight (8-2): Amare Larane is one of the area’s best players and is eyeing a return to another CIF final. But until then, the Hawks will gear up to play in the Tarkanian Classic in Las Vegas starting Dec. 19.
10.Thousand Oaks (6-0): Lancers are unbeaten, but have yet to play a challenging opponent. Senior Dylan McDord is averaging 22.5 points per game.
11. Legacy Christian (7-5): The Lions have won four straight, including a 66-47 win over Birmingham Charter, which will likely be a City Section Open Division team in February.
12. Oaks Christian (11-1): The sophomore tandem in Westlake Village is anchoring a great start for coach Mark Amaral. Brady Sullivan is averaging 15 points per game. Hank Baskett is pouring in 14.2 points and 8.2 rebounds a night.
13. Cleveland (5-4): The Cavs have won three of their last four, with the only loss coming to Brentwood. Sergine Deme is averaging 18.3 points, 9.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game.
14. Campbell Hall (2-2): The Vikings are playing a daunting schedule and are getting used to new coach Vonn Webb after former coach David Grace was let go in early November.
15. Heritage Christian (6-2): The Warriors were on a six-game winning streak before falling to still-unbeaten Etiwanda last week in the Sonora High tournament.
