It looks like there could be a changing of the guard in MIAA boys basketball this winter.
Three state champions from last season are going through significant changes. Worcester North, the back-to-back champion in Division 1, had its roster depleted amid defections to prep schools, and head coach Al Pettway left for Worcester State. Charlestown, the reigning Div. 3 champ, lost Jaylin Williams-Crawford and Jaylen Hunter-Coleman to prep. Wareham, after repeating in Div. 4, had six seniors depart.
While those teams reboot, there’s a collection of new blood ready to assume the mantle this winter. Some teams knocked on the door last season, and there are others who are expecting big jumps. But there's one team that remains at the head of the class, with a potentially historic winter ahead of them.
Here's our first crack at the MIAA boys power rankings, which we will update throughout the winter.
