IMG_8358by: Andy Villamarzo01/27/26Andy_Villamarzo

The Georgia high school boys basketball 2025-26 campaign is down ti the last couple of weeks before the postseason.

The sixth set of the latest Georgia Top 25 high school boys basketball rankings of the regular season sees the Grayson Rams once ahead of the defending GHSA Class 6A state champion Wheeler, for the No. 1 spot. The Rams-Wildcats remain for a consecutive at 1-2, but who else should we watch for out of Georgia when it comes to the state’s top high school boys basketball squads?

The Massey Ratings, officially used during the BCS era, is a model that ranks sports teams by analyzing game outcomes, strength of schedule, and margin of victory.

Here’s a look at the top 25 teams in the country according to the Massey Ratings, which ranks teams by analyzing game outcomes, strength of schedule and margin of victory, as of Jan. 27.

1. Grayson Rams (17-1)

The Grayson Rams (17-1) returns to the No. 1 spot as they have been the state’s most consistent team so far. The Rams’ only loss of the season to Decatur, as they’re riding a 3-game winning streak. The Rams feature a roster that can matchup with just about anyone in the state, seeing this team make another deep run is certainly not out of the question. Grayson will be led by the talents of 2027 three-star shooting guard Marcus Curry, who was named a first-team preseason Class 6A all-state selection. The Rams face four straight unranked opponents to end the season before heading into the playoffs.

2. Wheeler Wildcats (16-5)

The Wheeler Wildcats (16-5), the defending Class 6A state champions, drop to the second spot in our latest Georgia high school boys basketball Top 25 rankings. Featured on the Wildcats’ roster is UConn commitment Colben Landrew at point guard and Ole Miss pledge Jaron Saulsberry at small forward. 2027 guard Kevin Savage is a four-star recruit and has offers already from schools like Cincinnati, Georgia Tech, Ole Miss and Sacramento State. The Wildcats have back-to-back games against ranked Georgia high school boys basketball teams when they face No. 8 Walton and No. 29 Cherokee.

3. Gainesville Red Elephants (20-0)

Coming in third on our latest set of Georgia high school boys basketball rankings are the Gainesville Red Elephants (20-0), which have raced out to a strong start to the 2025-26 season with 18 straight wins. Gainesville doesn’t look like they’ll be slowing down anytime soon heading into the GHSA playoffs. Gainesville also recently knocked off Florida’s No. 28 ranked NSU University School, 57-46 and then went on to defeat No. 9 Milton, 68-60. Next week Gainesville will have a big showdown against one of the state’s best in a rematch with Milton.

4. McEachern Indians (15-4)

The McEachern Indians (15-4) started off the 2025-26 season with a surprising loss against Alexander, 66-57, but have been strong ever since going 15-3 in the following 18 contests. There’s a lot of optimism surrounding the program as the Indians have one of the top rising combo guards in the state in 2027 four-star Chase Lumpkin. Lumpkin, who stands 6-foot-5, has been receiving plenty of interest from Power 4 schools. McEachern’s only four losses on the season have come against nationally ranked Wheeler, Link Academy (MO), Pebblebrook (Ga.) and Alexander (Ga.), respectively.

5. St. Pius X (21-0)

Dropping down to the fifth spot in our latest Georgia high school boys basketball rankings is the St. Pius X Golden Lions (21-0), which are winners of 21 straight games to start the 2025-26 season. The Golden Lions have won 18 of 19 games by double digits this season and bring back one of the more talented teams in the state. St. Pius X is led by the talents of Clemson commitment Harris Reynolds at shooting guard as they continue to make a run in Georgia’s Class AAAA, Region 5.
