Note: The Grassroots Hoops FAB 50 is a continuation of the National Sports News Service ratings that began in 1952. These were the first national high school rankings and they were compiled by the late Art Johlfs of Minnesota. They were compiled for many years by the late Barry Sollenberger of Phoenix, who merged them into the FAB 50 for the 1999-2000 season. We just completed our 16th consecutive season compiling boys basketball national rankings in a FAB 50 format. Senior consultant Doug Huff began the weekly National Prep Poll, precursor to the FAB 50, for the 1987-1988 season.
