Anna moved up in this week’s Associated Press state boys basketball polls, while Minster earned votes for the first time this season.
The Rockets (12-0) moved up to No. 3 in Division III. They were ranked No. 4 last week and No. 5 in the inaugural 2019 poll two weeks ago.
Minster’s victory over defending Div. IV state champion Marion Local likely caught pollster’s attentions this week, as the Wildcats (9-5) received votes.
Sidney, which was ranked No. 10 in Div. I last week, dropped out of the poll this week. The Yellow Jackets (10-2) lost 63-61 to Fairborn last Friday.
