Johnston (5A), Sioux City Bishop Heelan (4A), Mount Vernon (3A), Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont and Council Bluffs St. Albert (1A) all remained at the head of the pack as the season continues to wind down.

Newcomers to the rankings this week include Carroll (4A), Solon (3A), Harlan (3A) and Mason City Newman (1A). 

Iowa City West moved into the 5A Top 10, as did Iowa City High, while Williamsburg reached No. 5 in 3A.
