Illinois High School Basketball: Davis's Dominance Leaves State in Awe as New Rankings Emerge.
Benet's dominance and Warren's resurgence continue to be the storylines that captivate Illinois high school basketball fans. Jaxson Davis, a standout junior from Warren, is being touted as one of the state's most exceptional players. According to his coach, Gene Heidkamp, Davis is "pretty special" with the ability to dominate games without even trying.
Heidkamp also expressed admiration for Davis's impact on the game beyond his own team's success. "We don't want to play against him anymore than we have to," he said, highlighting Davis's remarkable talent and how it elevates high school basketball as a whole. While Davis's decision to stick with Warren or move to prep school remains uncertain, one thing is certain: he will leave an indelible mark on state history.
In the latest Super 25 rankings, Benet solidifies its position at number one, followed closely by DePaul Prep. Neuqua Valley, which recently staged an impressive comeback win against Bolingbrook, jumps to number six. Glenbard North falls out of the rankings after a tough loss to Batavia.
New Trier, which had previously been ranked outside the top 25, returns with a vengeance, having knocked off Kenwood and Deerfield in their latest outings. Despite struggling early on in the season, New Trier has found its footing and is now a force to be reckoned with.
As the Public League playoffs approach, all 107 teams will have a chance to win the city title, marking a change from the past when only select programs participated. The tournament begins with four sectional play-in tournaments on Tuesday, followed by the city championship tournament on February 12.
With its current momentum, Illinois high school basketball is poised for an exciting finish to the season, and Jaxson Davis is at the forefront of it all.

. As a fan, it's crazy to see him elevate the game beyond just his own team's success - I mean, who wants to play against someone that good? 
It'll be interesting to see how he decides to move forward with his basketball career, but one thing's for sure: he's leaving a mark on state history that won't be forgotten soon! 
️ The new rankings have me hyped - can't wait to see who else breaks through and makes the playoffs! 
anyway can't wait to see what he does next, hopefully he sticks with Warren or makes the leap to prep school, either way we're gonna be witnesses to greatness
