Final small school boys rankings released

WACO remained at No. 2 in Class 1A but it was another week, another new number one team in Class 3A.

This week, it is Norwalk, which replaces Carroll atop the class in the latest Associated Press Iowa high school boys basketball poll.

Carroll (16-3) lost twice last week, the second week in a row the top-ranked 3A team dropped two games. It happened to Marion two weeks ago.

Norwalk (16-3) received eight of the 11 first-place votes. Mount Vernon (18-2) got two and moved into second in the 3A poll, with Davenport Assumption (15-4) third after also picking up a first-place vote.

Keokuk had been receiving votes but was shut out after an overtime loss to Washington gave the Demons the Southeast Conference title. Washington and Mt. Pleasant play each other in the first round of the postseason with the winner facing Assumption.

This is the final poll for Class 1A and 2A, which began district play Monday night. The final number ones are Treynor (21-1) in 2A and Easton Valley (21-0) in 1A.

North Linn (21-0) and Van Meter (20-0) are tied for second in 2A, with River Valley Conference member Monticello (18-2) moving all the way from eighth to fourth after a win last week over league foe Camanche, which slipped from fifth to sixth.

Keota received one point in Class 1A. Fellow South Iowa Cedar Legue member Montezuma is No. 7 while Southeast Iowa Super Conference member Notre Dame is No. 9.

Below are the entire rankings, with first-place votes in parentheses. Also included are team record, poll points and last week's position.

There will be one final 3A and 4A poll next week.
