The Aberdeen Roncalli girls’ lost their first game, but still are the top team in the Class B poll. The Cavaliers lost to Hamlin, which continues to receive votes in the Class A poll. Corsica-Stickney continues to inch closer to Roncalli, now garnering five first-place votes in the lastest poll.

Meanwhile, the Potter County boys inched up to a tie for fifth in Class B this week after being just outside the top five a week ago. Aberdeen Christian remains fourth.
