Entering the post-holiday portion of the basketball schedule, here are SBLive Oklahoma's Top 25 high school girls basketball teams.

Several high school girls basketball squads in Oklahoma were involved in holiday tournament action.

One of those schools, Edmond North, was one of the tournament winners, beating Mustang on its home court in the title game of the Mustang Holiday Classic. That enabled the Lady Huskies to stay unbeaten with the new year now under way.

Likewise, Choctaw stayed perfect on the season after winning its home tournament last week.
