District 3 Power Rankings Update – February 9, 2026

 

 

This is a brief look at where each of the LebCo teams rank in the Power Rankings.  There may sometimes be a lag in some of the Power Rankings, but this will give you an idea where every team stands with the regular season mostly complete and a majority of teams just waiting for official brackets to be released. Postseason games do not count towards the power rankings.

Official District 3 Basketball Brackets will be released later this week. As of now, it looks like five Girls Basketball teams will qualify, while three Boys teams will also make it in.  One more is right on the bubble.

During the Winter season, only Girls & Boys Basketball along with Boys Wrestling are Power Ranked sports.

Underneath the rankings for each team is an ordered list of the rankings of each LebCo team in Girls Basketball and Boys Basketball. That ranking is based on the District 3 Power Rating assigned to each team.
