Fourteen area hoops teams involved in first 2020 AP poll | Sports
Numerous area prep basketball programs received votes in the first Associated Press polls of 2020, though just one local team cracked its top 10 after votes were compiled Tuesday.
The Ridgeview girls’ club out of Colfax checked in at No. 9 in Class 1A. Beyond the 17-1 Mustangs, there are six area boys’ squads and seven more local girls’ teams that drew at least one vote apiece from AP voters.
Below are the complete polls, for which News-Gazette preps coordinator Colin Likas is a voting member.
