There were minimal changes in this week’s Prep Media basketball polls.

All the top teams in their respective divisions maintained their top spots, while local squads retained their spots, except for Clark-Willow Lake which fell from fifth into the receiving votes category in Class A boys.

The Hamlin boys continue to be rated second in the Class A boys, while the Hamlin girls remained fifth in Class A girls.

In Class B boys, Castlewood is still second and Leola-Frederick is fifth, and Aberdeen Christian remained in the receiving votes category.

This week marks the final polls for Class A and Class B girls, which start their postseason play.
