17U Power Rankings: Week 9: June 14, 2012

Titans capture GASO and hold on to No.1 spot

The Texas Titans held onto the No. 1 spot this week by winning the Great American Shootout, even without the services of Julius Randle. But Randle wasn't the only star to not be with his team. The Mac Irvin Fire were missing Jabari Parker, and they paid the price by falling in the Rose City Showcase.
