January is almost over. There isn’t much time for teams to jockey for postseason basketball position.
And after an interesting week of high school hoops around Montana, positions have changed in the third Havre Daily News Super 15 boys and girls basketball polls. On the girls side, the top four teams remain from Class AA, while the highest-ranked Class A team is the Sidney Eagles, who moved up to No. 5. The top Class B team is now Fairfield at No. 6, while Winnett-Grass Range tops the Class C squads. Defending Class C champion Fairview moved into the poll at No. 14, while Class B Bigfork debuts at No. 15. Anaconda and Belt fell out of the poll this week.
On the boys side, only Shelby fell out of the poll, while Class A Sidney debuts at No. 15. Bozeman still tops the list, but Class A Columbia Falls has moved to No. 2. Rocky Boy continues to be the highest-ranked Class B team, but the Stars fell to No. 9 this after a loss to Cut Bank. Roy-Winifred is the only Class C school in this week’s poll.
