A new No. 1: This week's IHSAA boys basketball Fab 15 has new team at top, two new entries

A look at this week’s Fab 15, a weekly ranking of the top high school boys basketball teams in Central Indiana:

1. Fishers (18-1)

The Tigers bounced back nicely from the loss to Carmel with a 51-49 win over Westfield and a 78-57 over Homewood-Flossmoor, the No. 1 team in Illinois. On the strength of those two victories, along with Lawrence North’s loss, I’m moving Fishers to the No. 1 spot for the first time. Senior Keenan Garner had 20 points, 11 rebounds, five assists and two steals in the win over Homewood-Flossmoor. Fishers hosts Cathedral on Friday. Previous: 2.

Vote for player of week: OT heroics, 40-point efforts, more.
