Fresh off winning the 2A Northeast Quadrant, Sundance jumped up two spots to third. That pushed Tongue River and Kemmerer down one spot each to fourth and fifth.

The only change in 1A girls’ rankings was two teams traded positions at the bottom of the poll. The Southeast Cyclones went wire-to-wire as the top-ranked team. They garnered ten of the 12 first-place votes. Upton and Burlington stayed second and third, respectively. Cokeville climbed back to fourth, and Riverside fell to fifth in the final poll.

Class 4A’s top four held their positions. Cody received all but one first-place vote. The Fillies are followed by Cheyenne East, Thunder Basin, and Campbell County. Sheridan made its debut in the rankings at No. 5.

There were no changes in the 3A girls’ division. Douglas was a unanimous No. 1 again. The Bearcats are followed by Buffalo, Mountain View, Newcastle, and Powell.

The final 2A boys’ poll was the one spot with a new team in the rankings. The top four did not change. The Big Horn Rams enter the postseason at No. 1. Pine Bluffs was second, then Tongue River and Wright. Wind River rejoined the top five at No. 5.

Only one minor difference occurred in the last 1A boys’ rankings. Upton and Cokeville traded spots. Saratoga finished at the top of the poll. The Panthers held the top spot every week after they rose to the top in the second rankings of the season. Burlington was second, and then the defending champion Bobcats. Cokeville dropped to fourth, while Southeast stayed fifth.

Both 3A and 4A had two teams’ trade positions in the top five.
