Kennesaw State hosted the Second Annual Nike Explosion Showcase over the weekend, featuring eight ranked teams from last week’s poll. The action was intense as several games came down to the wire and members of the Score 44 were all over the place. Elsewhere some of the top girls programs squared off against elite competition. The polls received a bit of a shakeup, with the biggest change coming in Class AAAAA girls where McEachern jumped Norcross for the No. 1 spot. Wesleyan continues to dominate in Class A girls.
