LGR Power rankings - week 1

With week 1 officially in the books and maybe some cold weather on the way it looks like basketball is finally here! While this year will be nearly impossible to know which teams are at full strength due to Covid we are still going to update our weekly power rankings to keep the conversation going about OUR girls. Not to much movement this week but a quick look ahead to next week and all the heavy weight battles over the Thanksgiving break should bring a lot of good basketball! Check out each classification rankings below.
