Loyola's Varsity Basketball team (19-5) has made a move into the State Top 20 Rankings, debuting at No. 16 in this week's CalHiSports.com list released on Tuesday (Jan. 22).

16. (NR) Loyola (Los Angeles) 19-5

Former Cub Jamal Adams is doing a fine job with a team that currently has the inside track to claim the Mission League crown with wins over bubble clubs Harvard-Westlake of North Hollywood and Crespi of Encino. Loyola also gets rankings credit for a win over surging St. John Bosco, but also must be dinged for earlier losses to Providence of Burbank, El Camino Real of Woodland Hills and Notre Dame of Sherman Oaks. Now that Bosco has that win over Mater Dei, we are rewarding both teams in this week’s rankings.
