MCLEAN, Va., Jan. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Findlay College Prep (Henderson, Nev.) once again retains its No. 1 spot, while the remainder of the top 10 changes in the USA TODAY High School Sports Super 25 national editorial rankings for boys basketball for the week of Jan. 28, 2013.

The USA TODAY High School Sports Super 25 is now in its 30^th year as the most prestigious high school ranking platform in the nation.

Montverde Academy (Montverde, Fla.), last week's No. 4 team, jumps to No. 2 in this week's Super 25 rankings, thanks in part to its 57-38 defeat of then-No. 6 La Lumiere (La Porte, Ind.), which slips one spot to No. 7 this week..  Lone Peak (Highland, Utah), last week's No. 2 team, added two wins to raise its record to 17-1, but falls to the No. 3 position.

St. Anthony (Jersey City, N.J.) moves up from No. 7 to No. 4 in this week's rankings, while regional rival St. Benedict's Prep (Newark, N.J.)—last week's No. 8 team—moves up three spots to complete the top five at 18-0.

Simeon (Chicago), ranked No. 10 last week, jumps to the No. 6 position in this week's rankings after defeating last week's No. 2 Whitney Young (Chicago), 44-41, knocking Whitney Young down to No. 10 in the current rankings.

Huntington Prep (W. Va.) advances one spot to No. 8 this week, while Prime Prep Academy (Dallas)—last week's No. 12 team—moves into the No. 9 slot at 21-0.
