The Columbus Explorers, the nation’s top-ranked team in the High School on SI boys basketball national rankings, as well as the No. 1 team in Florida, will host Florida’s 9th ranked squad, Westminster Academy, Tuesday night in Miami.
Columbus is currently 18-3 and coming off its second win of the year over Montverde Academy, Florida’s No. 2 team as well as the No. 2 team in our national rankings. The Explorers have won five straight since back-to-back losses in late December.
Westminster Academy is 10-8 against an extremely tough schedule and the Lions will be primed to challenge for a marque victory that would be the perfect springboard for the upcoming postseason.
Columbus vs. Westminster Academy will air live on the NFHS Network. NFHS subscriptions are available on a monthly or annual basis.
The opening tip is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET on Tues., Jan. 28, live from Columbus High School in Miami.
