Power Rankings: AA Updated

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Another week of the North Dakota Class AA season is in the books, and as the State Tournament draws closer, the Power Rankings continue to evolve. While the top three spots remain unchanged, this week's update still features notable movement throughout the rankings, including a new team breaking into the mix and another squad falling out. We also see a familiar program re-enter the Top 5, while Dickinson's Mavs drop out following their loss to St. Mary's.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">With the calendar now turning to February, the postseason is right around the corner. Every game carries added weight as teams jockey for position, and expect the rankings to stay fluid as the race to March continues to heat up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline">GAME OF THE WEEK IN CLASS AA</span>: West Fargo at Horace on Tuesday, February 3rd. This will be a high-scoring affair and a track meet. Get ready for a ton of possession, exhilarating fastbreaks, and high-volume three-pointers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1676515,"width":"386px","height":"auto","sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/PowerRankings.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/PowerRankings.jpg?w=865" alt="" class="wp-image-1676515" style="width:386px;height:auto" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"30px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:30px"><strong>#1 Bismarck Century</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline">Record</span>: 14-0</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline">Past Week</span>: WON 88-53 vs. Jamestown, WON 70-47 vs. Williston </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline">Coming Week</span>: 2/3 @ Dickinson &amp;
