The latest MIAA basketball power rankings are out. See where Taunton area teams stand.
The MIAA released its latest tournament basketball power rankings of the season on Friday.
The rankings only include scores entered into Arbiter, verified by MIAA and schools as of Feb. 17 at 4 a.m. The top 32 teams qualify, while teams 33 and below qualify for a play-in game with a .500 or better record.
As of Friday morning, four Greater Taunton area teams, two boys and two girls, look set to qualify heading into the final week of the regular season. Dighton-Rehoboth boys basketball is on the edge and will need to win their final two games to guarantee a .500 record and a play-in game, while Bridgewater-Raynham boys, Taunton girls and Bristol-Plymouth girls, who wrapped up their season Thursday, will not hit the .500 threshold. The Bristol-Plymouth boys finished their season Wednesday with a 16-4 record and have qualified for a play-in game.
Here's a look at the latest power rankings of the season for Greater Taunton area hoops teams:
