Week 7 Rankings Update
It was another eventful week of basketball around the state, with 14 of the 40 teams that were ranked last week dropping at least one game. As a result, there are new #1 teams in three classes this week. We detail some of the key movement below.
In Class 4A, two-time defending champion Cedar Falls (9-1) takes over the top spot following losses by both Waukee (10-1) and Waterloo West (9-2), who fell to #3 and #8, respectively. Iowa City West (10-1) moves into the #2 spot on the strength of a defense that is allowing just over 40 points a game. Centennial (13-1) and North Scott (12-1) round out the top five. Council Bluffs Abraham Lincoln (12-1) is the lone newcomer, joining the rankings at #9.
Norwalk (11-2) stays at the top of the 3A rankings, with Assumption (10-2), Marion (12-1), Pella (11-2) and Carroll (9-1) rounding out the top five. Winterset (9-3) falls from #3 to #6 following their loss to Van Meter, and Glenwood (11-3) enters the rankings at #10.
All ten teams remain in the rankings in 2A, albeit in a largely different order. West Sioux (15-0) takes over the top spot in the class following Camanche’s (11-1) loss to Indian Creek (IL). That Indian Creek team is undefeated, and the Indians drop just one spot to #2 as a result of the loss. The biggest mover this week is Van Meter (14-0) who moved up from #9 to #5 on the strength of a 4-0 week that included a win over then-3A #3 Winterset.
Lake Mills (14-1) started the season as our #1 team in 1A, and the Bulldogs are back there following their 18-point win over then-#1 Bishop Garrigan (12-2). The Bulldogs and Golden Bears flipped spots, with Garrigan landing at #4. Springville (12-3) is the lone newcomer this week, entering at #10.
