The Aberdeen Central boys are back to being rated in this week’s high school basketball polls.

The Golden Eagles, who were just outside the top five last week, are tied for fifth with Sioux Falls Lincoln in this week’s poll.

All of the other area teams remained in their same spots from a week ago.

The Aberdeen Roncalli girls, fresh off a win over Class A second-rated West Central, continues to lead the Class B girls like it has all season. The Cavaliers received all but one first-place vote this week.

Aberdeen Christian remains fifth in the Class B girls.

The Aberdeen Christian boys remain fourth in Class B, while Potter County remains fifth.
