Power Pack: RI High School Girls' Basketball: March 3rd
There's just one week left in the RIIL Girls' Basketball regular season, which means playoff basketball is on its way and teams are pushing for tournament berths and seeds. This week's Power Pack features some shifting near the Top 10, and most of the top teams have clinched division titles and already have an eye on the postseason. Multiple teams are going for undefeated league campaigns, and all that and more is inside this week's countdown.
