9. McCook................14-8

10. Lincoln Pius X..........11-7

*Considered: Aurora 11-6, Elkhorn South 11-8

Omaha Gross and Scottsbluff trade places. Scottsbluff's demotion is caused by a 57-46 loss to 9th rated McCook. Gross beat South Sioux City Friday on the Cardinals home court but their 2 losses to Omaha Skutt prevent them from overtaking South Sioux City who beat Skutt 69-64. Gering and Skutt trade places after Skutt drops a 68-55 decision to Lincoln Pius. Gering won FOUR games last week to gain the 6th spot. Gretna drops out after a blowout loss to C-1 Minden in the Heartland Hoops Classic. McCook moves up one after beating Scottsbluff and Lincoln Pius enters at #10 after wins over a Class A rated Lincoln SE and the win over Omaha Skutt.

*Considered: Columbus Lakeview 13-6, Valentine 17-4, and Adams Central 14-6.

First 3 teams hold their spots. Wahoo Neumann makes a big jump from 7th to 4th. The Cav's only blemishes are to Boys Town (twice), Norfolk Catholic, and Class B's 3rd rated Omaha Gross. Norfolk Catholic slips to 5th after a Heartland Hoops Classic loss to C-2 Sutton. Wayne is accessed a 3 rung demotion after losing to D-1 Guardian Angels CC for a 2nd time in 2 weeks. Hershey moves in at #10 after St. Cecilia's weekend trip to Grand Island resulted in losses to Northwest and GICC.

*Considered: Creighton 16-4, Shelton 16-4, Southern Valley 17-5, Freeman 17-6, Doniphan-Trumbull 13-7, Fremont Bergan 15-7

Crazy week in C-2. Sutton bests C-1 Norfolk Catholic but can't move ahead of Ravenna because of an earlier one point loss to the Bluejays. Ponca's loss to 10-9 Homer drops the Indians from 3rd to 6th. Stanton moves into 3rd, Hartington CC jumps from 6th to 4th with a win over then 4th rated Lutheran High NE. Burwell leap frogs Johnson Co. Central for 8th and Twin River moves into a tie for the final spot. Archbishop Bergan drops out for a loss to Wahoo Neumann but can get back in with a regular season finale win over Oakland-Craig.

Class D-1

1. O'Neill St. Marys ...21-0

2. Humphrey St. Francis.17-3

3. Pawnee City..........19-3

4. Paxton ..............18-1

5. Overton..............16-4

6. BDS .................17-4

7. High Plains .........14-6

8. Randolph ............14-5

9. West Boyd............16-4

10. Bancroft-Rosalie.....15-6

10. Sandhills-Thedford.....15-5

*Considered: Chambers/Wheeler Central 14-6, Arapahoe 16-7.

Paxton switches places with Pawnee City because they seem to be getting stronger with an only blemish to C-1 rated Hershey. West Boyd jumps from 9th to 7th for taking #1 St. Marys to overtime before falling by a point. High Plains drops to 9th for a loss to BDS, although not that damaging. Sandhills-Thedford moves into a 10th place tie with Bancroft-Rosalie after previous #10 Arapahoe suffers a loss to a then 9-8 Cambridge squad.

Class D-2

1. Giltner ................22-0

2. Howells ................20-1

3. Dodge...................18-3

4. Wynot...................18-2

5. Sterling................16-6

6. Brady ..................17-2

7. GI Heartland Lutheran...16-6

8. Wausa...................17-5

9. Loomis..................14-5

10. Falls City Sacred Heart.13-7

*Considered: Hayes Center 13-6 , Clarkson 12-8, Pleasanton 12-6, Leyton 13-6

All teams held their positions except Hayes Center who drops out after a loss to Paxton. Falls City SH re-enters at that #10 slot despite their 7 losses. The Irish schedule is a much more demanding slate than Hayes Center in my opinion.
