Michigan High School Boys Basketball: On3 Composite Rankings Top 25 - Jan. 13

Michigan high school boys basketball never stops, even as the new year starts. While the Christmas season is over, all teams in the Great Lake State are still chasing championships. However, while there are hundreds of participating squads, a handful have separated themselves from the pack.

Therefore, it’s no wonder that these teams occupy the top 25 spots in the Michigan On3 Composite Team Rankings. Here are Michigan’s best groups, based on the ratings as of Jan. 13, 2025.

The On3 Composite High School Basketball Team Ranking is a proprietary algorithm that compiles rankings listed in the public domain by respected High School media and data companies. It includes Massey, Max Preps, Cal Preps, ESPN, and SI, creating the industry’s most comprehensive and geographically balanced High School Team Ranking.
