Comments: An uneventful week in Class A save for Lincoln North Star’s 47-37 win over then No. 7 Lincoln Northeast which gives the Gators their first ranking in the poll of the season. Four of their five losses are to ranked teams. But, to stay there they may need a 3-0 week with games against No. 9 Kearney and (RV) Millard West in a Friday, Saturday, back-to-back.

Comments: Last week we asked if we had settled on 11 teams or if someone — Broken Bow, Pierce, Hershey or GICC — would make a late run. Enter the Crusaders, who knocked off Northwest and unbeaten Adams Central on consecutive nights. Now 10-5, the Crusaders can add to their resume in the Centennial Conference tournament this weekend. Bridgeport rolled to the SPVA title.

Receiving Votes: Summerland (13-1), RV; Superior (14-2), RV.

Comments: The same 12 teams received votes this week, with the top nine teams being on every ballot. Ponca and Crofton flipped even though they were supposed to play, and it got snowed out.

Receiving Votes: Elmwood-Murdock (11-4), RV.

Comments: Minor re-shuffling as St. Cecilia lost to Class C-2 (RV) Superior and dropped two spots. Ravenna and Centura square off on Friday and we could get them again in the LouPlatte Conference title game next week. Still no room for unbeaten S-E-M, which is sixth in the points and MHC is seventh.

Receiving Votes: Leyton (9-3), 10

Comments: Paxton re-enters for Leyton after the Warriors lost to Class C-2 Bayard for a second time. Paxton’s only to losses are to Class D-1, No. 1 MHC.
