Iowa High School Boys Basketball Rankings

Four boys high school basketball teams from the Cedar Valley and Northeast Iowa are ranked in this week’s Associated Press poll, released today (Monday, January 19, 2015).

A shake-up in the Class-1A rankings has moved Gladbrook-Reinbeck to the top of the poll for the first time this season. The Rebels (11-0) replaced Le Mars Gehlen Catholic at No. 1, even though the Jays remain unbeaten. Half of the teams in the 1A poll remain perfect.

Waverly-Shell Rock is also ranked No. 1. The Go-Hawks (12-0) continue to lead the Class-3A poll. They were the unanimous choice to lead the rankings, receiving all 18 first-place votes cast by the media members who voted.

Aplington-Parkersburg and New Hampton are both featured in the Class-2A rankings. The A-P Falcons (13-0) are ranked third, following a one spot climb from last week. The Chickasaws (9-1) also advanced one spot, moving up to No. 5.

Three other area teams are close to cracking the top 10. Cedar Falls (Class-4A), Janesville (1A) and West Central of Maynard (1A) are all receiving votes for the poll.
