For the first time in five weeks, there's a new No. 1 team, as Lebanon High School finished just a few points ahead of Portsmouth to take this week's top spot in the boys basketball rankings.

The Raiders and Clippers switched spots from a week ago, while Littleton remained at No. 3\. Pinkerton moved back up into the top five, coming in at No. 4, while Conant crept past division-rival Pelham to take the No. 5 spot.

Here are the state-wide rankings, along with rankings for each division. Rankings will be updated each week during the regular season.

### How the rankings are done

We took the NHIAA’s football rating system, and gave it a little tweak. Instead of 10 points for a win, we weighted the wins by division, giving 12 for a win over a D1 team, 10 for a win over D2, eight for a win over D3, and six for a win over D4\. Plus, every team got two points for a win by a beaten opponent. The two point totals were added together and divided by the number of games played.
