The 2025-26 high school basketball season has officially wrapped, and the final Rivals Composite Rankings are here to crown the nation's elite girls' programs. This proprietary algorithm blends data from top sources like Massey, MaxPreps, ESPN, and SI to deliver the most balanced and comprehensive national picture.
Topping the list is little surprise: the Ontario Christian Knights (34-2) from California. They cemented their status as queens of the Golden State—and the country—by defeating Archbishop Mitty 56-49 to claim the CIF Open Division state championship. While their explosive offense, which averaged 91 points per game, was held in check, their defense delivered the crucial stops needed to seal the title. Leading the charge is junior point guard Kaleena Smith, who made a compelling case for National Player of the Year with staggering averages of 31.5 points, 6.9 assists, 4.5 steals, and 3.7 rebounds per game.
Right on their heels at No. 2 are the Bishop McNamara Mustangs (29-3) from Maryland. A powerhouse all season long, the Mustangs played one of the nation's toughest schedules, with their only losses coming against elite competition: St. Frances Academy (Md.) and national power No. 6 Long Island Lutheran (N.Y.). Their impressive record and consistent high-level performance solidify their spot among the absolute best.
Rounding out the top three are the Archbishop Mitty Monarchs of California, who battled Ontario Christian in that epic state final. The complete top 25 rankings showcase the geographic diversity and incredible talent spread across the country, setting the stage for next season's battles and highlighting the future stars of the game.
