After finding themselves ranked second in the first Globe girls basketball Top 20 of the season, New Bedford picked up two quick losses to drop themselves out of the standings the following week.

But the Whalers have gone on a winning streak to improve to 10-2 and have climbed back into the rankings, sitting at No. 14 in this week's Top 20.

The top five saw a shakeup this week with No. 5 Archbishop Williams falling to Archbishop Malloy, sliding them down to No. 8 in this week's poll. After picking up two more wins this week, Arlington Catholic has moved into the top five.

The bottom of the rankings saw some shifting as well. Central Catholic (No. 18), Falmouth (No. 20), Medford (unranked) and Woburn (No. 16) all dropped games this week.
