division 5polls

The CIF Southern Section's official top 10 polls in boys' basketball were released this evening. The poll is compiled by the SCIBCA (Southern California Interscholastic Basketball Coaches Association). Basically each division is composed of a committee consisting of a number of coaches who review standings, strength of schedule, results and the like. Committee members submit their respective votes and these are compiled and tabulated and the result is what you see below, i.e., the first SCIBCA Southern Section Boys' Basketball Top 10 Polls for the 1999-2000 season. This is the first one. They'll be issued weekly hereafter until the end of the season. The polls are not solely determinative, but they are a factor in establishing seedings for playoffs.
