First Boys Basketball Rankings of 2013
The first rankings for the new year are out and posted.
While they are the first rankings of the new year, they aren't that much different than the final poll of 2012.
4A sees the most change. Two new teams make their debut on the charts. Sheridan is fourth after going 1-2 at Riverton. They beat Evanston by 19, but, lost to Riverton, now #2, and Kelly Walsh who ranks #5. KW beat Sheridan 54 to 51 on Friday at Riverton. Gillette remains #1 with all but 1 first place vote. Riverton is now two after the Wolverines beat Laramie last Friday. The Plainsmen are now third. Evanston and Natrona are no longer part of the top five. Cheyenne South received four votes this week. The Bison will have their shot at moving up when they play at #5 Kelly Walsh this weekend, a team that the Bison beat last season. 4A teams won't play in conference till next weekend.
