The Indiana Basketball Coaches Association
has released its third set of all-classes combined rankings for the 2008-09
girls basketball season, and a pair of teams in the same sectionals are on the
rise.

Terre Haute South, which already has reeled
off a half-dozen wins to start the season, moves up three spots from ninth to sixth.
Also bumping up a trio of slots is Mooresville, which stands 3-0.

Meanwhile, Vincennes Lincoln and Fort Wayne
Elmhurst elevate four positions further down the rankings as the Alices go from
17^th to 13^th and the Trojans are up to 14^th
from 18^th. Evansville Memorial (19^th) and Oregon-Davis (20^th)
are new to this week’s rankings.

The top two teams from the previous poll –
Ben Davis and Heritage Christian – stay the same, while South Bend Washington and
Carmel have once again swapped out the third and fourth spots. Hamilton
Southeastern again rounds out the first five.
