Another new No. 1 has been named in Class 1A, as Council Bluffs St. Albert takes over the top spot in the latest girls basketball rankings from the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union.
The Falcons knocked off Newell-Fonda, who dropped from No. 2 to three, with North Linn falling out of the top spot to second. Bishop Garrigan, the preseason No. 1, is fourth followed by Riceville and unbeaten Mount Ayr.
Mount Ayr is one of just 11 teams still undefeated as of the release.
Johnston (5A), Sioux City Bishop Heelan (4A), Mount Vernon (3A) and Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont (2A) all held firm at No. 1 in their respective classes.
Newcomers to the rankings this week include ADM in 4A, West Marshall and Des Moines Christian in 3A, Pocahontas Area and Shenandoah in 2A, and Coon Rapids-Bayard and Martensdale-St. Marys in 1A.
West Marshall made a giant leap, going from unranked to eighth.
