Prep Hoops Indiana Week 5 Class-by-Class Top 10 Polls

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It is Christmas week which means we have a couple days off from games, really just Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but that doesn't mean the content stops here at Prep Hoops Indiana. We will have boots on the ground at a game on Monday night and then will watch 11 games over a two-day period on Friday and Saturday. Let's take a look at this week's Prep Hoops Indiana Class-by-Class Top 10 Polls.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Class 1A</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Team</strong></td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center"><strong>Record</strong></td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center"><strong>Previous Ranking</strong></td></tr><tr><td>#1 Orleans</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">5-0</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#3</td></tr><tr><td>#2 Christian Academy</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">6-1</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#5</td></tr><tr><td>#3 Liberty Christian</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">5-3</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#2</td></tr><tr><td>#4 Bloomfield</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">5-1</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#9</td></tr><tr><td>#5 Clay City</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">4-1</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">NR</td></tr><tr><td>#6 Rock Creek Academy</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">6-2</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#6</td></tr><tr><td>#7 Indianapolis Lutheran</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">1-2</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#1</td></tr><tr><td>#8 Carroll (Flora)</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">6-0</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">NR</td></tr><tr><td>#9 Kouts</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">5-1</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">NR</td></tr><tr><td>#10 Marquette Catholic</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">3-4</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#7</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Class 1A is admittedly a mess right now. Orleans, who is a very good team, has made it to #1 thanks to attrition of seemingly every other quality teams. Some of the losses are very surprising with these teams even when going up against larger schools. I expect teams like Lutheran and Marquette Catholic to rise back towards the top as the season goes on, but right now they deserved to fall. Bloomfield is definitely a team to watch that we probably didn't give proper credit to preseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Class 2A</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Team</strong></td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center"><strong>Record</strong></td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center"><strong>Previous Ranking</strong></td></tr><tr><td>#1 Bishop Luers</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">4-0</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#1</td></tr><tr><td>#2 Parke Heritage</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">6-0</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#2</td></tr><tr><td>#3 Gary 21st Century</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">6-0</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#3</td></tr><tr><td>#4 Wapahani</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">7-0</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#4</td></tr><tr><td>#5 Linton</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">5-0</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#5</td></tr><tr><td>#6 Paoli</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">4-0</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#6</td></tr><tr><td>#7 South Ripley</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">8-0</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#7</td></tr><tr><td>#8 Southwestern (Hanover)</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">5-1</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#10</td></tr><tr><td>#9 Cardinal Ritter</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">6-2</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">NR</td></tr><tr><td>#10 Manchester</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">6-1</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">NR</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Compared to Class 1A, Class 2A has been pretty easy week-to-week. All of the best teams are doing their job and winning all of the games as the top seven all remain undefeated at this point. Cardinal Ritter and Manchester moved into the Top 10 this week replacing Jimtown and Lapel.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Class 3A</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Team</strong></td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center"><strong>Record</strong></td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center"><strong>Previous Ranking</strong></td></tr><tr><td>#1 Cathedral</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">6-2</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#2</td></tr><tr><td>#2 South Bend St. Joseph</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">6-0</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#3</td></tr><tr><td>#3 Crispus Attucks</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">7-4</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#1</td></tr><tr><td>#4 New Palestine</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">5-1</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#4</td></tr><tr><td>#5 Silver Creek</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">8-0</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#5</td></tr><tr><td>#6 Blackhawk Christian</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">6-1</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#6</td></tr><tr><td>#7 Brownstown Central</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">6-0</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#8</td></tr><tr><td>#8 NorthWood</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">7-0</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#10</td></tr><tr><td>#9 East Chicago Central</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">7-3</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#7</td></tr><tr><td>#10 Guerin Catholic</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">6-2</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#9</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Crispus Attucks finally piled up enough losses, including a surprising one to Lawrence Central, that we dropped them from the #1 spot. Both Cathedral and South Bend St. Joseph are deserving of moving up for the time being. Obviously, things could change when Attucks gets Briscoe back. Aside from the Top 10, shoutout to Southridge and Evansville Memorial who are knocking on the door as undefeated teams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Class 4A</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Team</strong></td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center"><strong>Record</strong></td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center"><strong>Previous Ranking</strong></td></tr><tr><td>#1 Fishers</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">7-0</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#1</td></tr><tr><td>#2 Lawrence North</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">5-1</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#2</td></tr><tr><td>#3 Crown Point</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">4-0</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#3</td></tr><tr><td>#4 Greenfield-Central</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">6-1</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#4</td></tr><tr><td>#5 Carmel</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">5-1</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#7</td></tr><tr><td>#6 Warsaw</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">6-0</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#8</td></tr><tr><td>#7 Northridge</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">7-0</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">NR</td></tr><tr><td>#8 Jeffersonville</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">4-3</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#6</td></tr><tr><td>#9 Ben Davis</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">4-2</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">NR</td></tr><tr><td>#10 Fort Wayne Wayne</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">4-2</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">NR</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fishers and Lawrence North continue to play at a different level than the field, but Crown Point is definitely a team for folks to keep an eye on throughout the season. Warsaw and Northridge continue to climb as well as they keep their undefeated records. Jeffersonville should shoot back up quickly once they get Singleton back and his absence is why they aren't falling further. Ben Davis and Fort Wayne Wayne have found their way back into the Top 10.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
