Our rankings of the best teams in the state during the 2016-17 basketball season, as selected by our panel of staff writers and correspondents. (Updated 12/27)

1. Cambridge (4-0; Last Ranking  –  1): Falcons made mince meat of their conference opponents last week, but will face two tough opponents at the BABC Holiday Tournament in Portsmouth (N.H.) and St. Raphael’s (R.I.).

2. BC High (3-0; Last Ranking  –  2):  So far this year, the Eagles have defeated three very good teams by an average margin of 21.6 points. Talented point guard Travis Evee and star wing Carl Pierre provide the foundation, but this is a very deep BC High team.
