The Clark-Willow Lake Cyclones have gone from not receiving votes to being rated fifth in Class A boys in this week’s Prep Media basketball polls.

CWL is coming off a big win over Lennox at the Hanson Classic on Saturday.

Other area teams include the Hamlin boys who are second in Class A, the Castlewood boys who are second in Class B, the Leola-Frederick boys who are fifth in Class B, the Aberdeen Central girls who are receiving votes in Class AA, and the Mobridge-Pollock girls who are receiving votes in Class A.
