Top 10 New Hampshire Girls High School Basketball State Rankings (1/7/2025)

The season is young, but there can be little debate about which team deserves to be at the top of New Hampshire’s girls basketball Top 10 rankings.

In a match-up between programs that each won a state championship last season, Bedford beat Bishop Feehan of Attleboro, Mass., to win the Londonderry Holiday Classic. Bedford then improved its Division I record to 4-0 by beating Walpole, Mass., 54-27 Saturday. 

So the top storyline entering the 2025 portion of the season is this: Can anyone beat the Bulldogs?

Records are through games played Jan. 4.

Previous rank: 1

The Bulldogs have plenty of scoring, but they also have a great defense. Bedford hasn’t allowed more than 32 points in any of its four Division I wins.

Previous rank: 2

We’ll get a No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup when Pinkerton plays at Bedford on Tuesday night. The Bulldogs beat the Astros in last year’s Division I championship game.

If you had to select one NHIAA player to build a team around, Londonderry’s Sammie Sullivan might be the pick.
