BOISE, Idaho — The latest Idaho high school boys basketball state media poll released Thursday brought some movement atop the 4A and 3A classifications, with a pair of new top-ranked squads.
After a massive win over then No. 1 Pocatello (4A), Madison went from a fifth-place tie with Eagle last week, to sole possession of the No. 4 spot this week in the state's largest class.
Pocatello was a perfect 18-0 before the loss to the 5A squad, which pushed them behind Hillcrest in the latest 4A rankings.
At the 3A level, Sugar-Salem jumped from the fourth spot to the No. 1 spot, despite receiving less first-place votes than Bonners Ferry. Sugar-Salem went three-for-three last week, picking up wins over Snake River, South Fremont and Teton.
