The Associated Press has released its second set of polls for the 2009-10 boys basketball season, and there are no changes at the top as preseason leaders Bloomington South (4A), Princeton (3A), Fort Wayne Luers (2A), and Bowman Academy (1A) all stay at No. 1.
But there is some stuff going on below that foursome. In 4A, Lafayette Jefferson rises from 15th to seventh and Jeffersonville goes from 18th to 10th. In 3A, Southridge ascends from 10th to seventh and Gary Wallace goes from 13th to eighth. In 2A, Forest Park jumps from ninth to sixth, Oak Hill bumps up from 10th to eighth, and Evansville Mater Dei leaps from 15th to ninth. And in 1A, Fort Wayne Blackhawk Christian moves up from 11th to eighth.
Teams are listed by current ranking followed by school and record. The AP’s 80 ranked schools from Nov. 30:
