Lots of games were canceled last week due to Friday's snowstorm, which left teams such as Andover without any opponents. Some schools managed to fit games in, though, and retain places in the ever-changing Globe Top 20.

The first five positions in the rankings remained the same, but Scituate fell three spots to No. 9 after losing to previously unranked Duxbury Monday night, 57-38. Duxbury joins the list in the No. 20 spot.

No. 6 Newton South, No. 7 New Bedford, and No. 8 Revere each improved one spot, continuing their unbeaten streaks and filling in the gap left by Scituate's slip. The rankings said goodbye to Bishop Feehan (last week's No. 14 team), which has dropped to 4-4, leaving room for Norwell to take over the No. 15 slot, one spot in front of Cohasset.

Braintree steps up two spots to No. 16 after taking down Needham, Brockton, and Weymouth in a four-day stretch. Acton-Boxboro moves up two slots to No. 17, followed by Natick, which lost to Wellesley on Friday and dropped to No. 18.
