Tartan and Wayzata continue their back-and-forth battle for the No. 1 spot in the Minnesota Basketball Coaches Association boys basketball Class 4A poll.
Two weeks ago, the Titans and Trojans were tied atop the poll. Wayzata claimed the No. 1 spot last week. In the latest poll released Feb. 8, undefeated Tartan is No. 1.
The No. 3 spot in Class 4A also changed this week. Lakeville South continued its ascent, moving from No. 6 to No. 3.
Also in Class 3A, DeLaSalle moved into the No. 2 spot while Northfield dropped from No. 4 to No. 6. Mahtomedi and St. Paul Johnson moved up one spot each to No. 4 and No. 5, respectively.
In Class 2A, Pequot Lakes moved from No. 6 to No. 3, Annandale went from No. 8 to No. 5, and Holy Family rose from No. 9 to No. 6.
In Class 1A, Central Minnesota Christian and Dawson-Boyd both jumped two spots, going to No. 2 and No. 8.
