Area teams that have been in polls lately remain in and another returns in the latest North Dakota Associated Press Sportscasters & Sportswriters Association Class A & B basketball rankings, released Wednesday.

Valley City and Carrington each moved up one spot in the Class A girls poll.  The Hi-Liners are now second and the Cardinals are up to third.  Those teams will play on Friday night in Carrington.

LaMoure-Litchville/Marion dropped a spot to third in the Class B girls rankings after a loss last week to Valley City.

For the first time in six weeks, Wahpeton is in the top five among Class A boys.  Two wins last week extended the Huskies’ winning streak to seven games.

There are no changes in the number one teams.  Top rankings again go to South Prairie-Max in Class A girls, Four Winds-Minnewaukan in Class A boys, Flasher in Class B girls and Central McLean in Class B boys.
