There’s about three weeks left in the Division I boys basketball regular season, but that’s plenty of time for a lot to change going into the postseason.

Here’s where each team stands going into Friday’s games. All records are from [NHIAA.org](http://www.nhiaa.org/?ref=nh-highschoolsports.com).

### Top four

- Pinkerton (11-1)
- Merrimack (9-2)
- Manchester Central (9-3)
- Exeter (8-3)

Pinkerton looks like the team to beat, but the Astros aren't unbeatable, as they've had recent scares against Londonderry and Spaulding. Merrimack has some big games coming up, starting with Manchester Central on Tuesday. The Little Green has lost its last two road games to sub-.500 teams. After games against Dover and Keene, Exeter travels to face the two teams its tied with in the standings, Memorial and North.

### Next four

- Manchester Memorial (8-3)
- Nashua North (8-3)
- Bedford (7-5)
- Winnacunnet (7-5)

Memorial has won six of its last seven, with the only loss to Pinkerton, and has scored 67 points or more in all but one game this year. North has a chance to pick up a few wins before ending the regular season with Exeter, Londonderry and Merrimack. Bedford has lost three straight to take a bit of a tumble, and it could be four after Friday's game at Pinkerton. Winnacunnet has lost three of its last four.

### On the road

- Nashua South (6-5)
- Bishop Guertin (5-6)
- Londonderry (5-7)
- Trinity (5-7)
- Keene (4-6)
- Alvirne (4-7)
- Salem (4-7)
- Spaulding (3-9)
