For some schools the postseason has begun while others are set to begin postseason play next week. The end of the regular season saw some results that sparked some changes in this week’s 615 Preps area rankings.
Large Class teams include 4A, 3A, and Division II-AA. Small Class teams include 2A, 1A, and Division II-A.
Rankings are based on overall success current form for each teams. While teams may have beaten each other earlier in the season, we look at the current form of teams compared to each other.
With that in mind, here’s a look at this week’s 615 Preps large and small class girls rankings:

2. Hillsboro (16-4): Since suffering a two-point double-overtime loss to Cane Ridge on January 25, the Lady Burros have won five straight by an average of 33.6 points. They closed out the regular season with a 71-27 win over Antioch and 61-37 win over McGavock.
3. Lebanon (21-7): The Devilettes left no doubts on the court last week putting the losses to Cookeville in that rearview. They closed out the regular season beating Stewarts Creek 63-32 and Wilson Central 81-52.
4. Page (20-7): The best team in Williamson County right now is Page and the Lady Patriots put a stamp on that fact last week. They opened the week beating Brentwood 46-36 before closing the regular season with a pair of double-digit wins over Nolensville.
5. Brentwood (21-4): They lost to Page but the Lady Bruins took their frustrations from that game out on Ravenwood in their final two games. Brentwood completed the regular season sweep over their crosstown foes with a 58-43 win and a 56-28 win.
