Not Much Movement in the New WyoPreps Basketball Polls

A co-No. 1 in the boys’ poll and three ties in the girls’ rankings are the biggest changes in this week’s WyoPreps Coaches and Media Basketball Polls. Powell joined the club as a top-ranked team in boys’ basketball. The ties came in the lowest three classes of the girls’ poll. One team re-entered the rankings on the boys’ side.

Powell and Douglas are tied for the top spot in 3A boys. The Bearcats earned one more first-place vote, but Powell received enough second-place votes that pushed them into the tie. Lovell, Pinedale, and Thermopolis remained third, fourth, and fifth.

Big Horn rejoined the 2A boys’ poll. The Rams’ upset of Tongue River last weekend helped them into fifth. Lingle-Ft. Laramie tightened its grip on the top spot. The Doggers got 13 of the 14 first-place votes. Wright held in second. Wyoming Indian pushed up to third, while Tongue River fell to fourth.

In 4A, two teams traded spots. Cheyenne Central was a near-unanimous pick for No. 1 with 16 of the 17 first-place votes. Laramie moved up to second and got the other first-place vote. Cheyenne East fell to third. Natrona County and Sheridan held fourth and fifth, respectively.

Finally, there was no change in the 1A boys’ rankings for the third straight week. Upton got all but one first-place vote and stayed in the top position. Saratoga kept the second spot. Cokeville remained third. Farson-Eden received a first-place vote, but the Pronghorns were still fourth. Southeast held onto fifth.
