Please note, divisional placement in our poll is based on our Enrollment Projections done earlier this year. Divisional placement in the WIAA playoffs is not determined until after the season and these projections can and will be different than the divisions at the end of the year.

Franklin holds onto the top spot in Division 1 for a second straight week, though both second-ranked Kimberly and third-ranked Sun Prairie did garner first place votes. There wasn't a whole lot of movement this week, as the top seven remains exactly the same. Arrowhead lost a 53-49 thriller to Muskego, the second defeat of this season for the Warhawks, who slide from eighth to tenth.

Waunakee won a thriller over rival DeForest, as the Warriors remain the number one team in D2. After that was chaos, however, with teams ranked second through seventh last week all tasting defeat. Homestead makes a big jump from eighth to second, while DeForest remains third this week. Menomonie and Brookfield East round out the top five. Hartford and Germantown move into the poll as Slinger and Kaukauna drop out.

Baraboo was knocked off by Fort Atkinson, causing the Thunderbirds to fall out of the top spot in Division 3, landing at fourth this week. Greendale moves up one spot number one. Menasha is new this week, replacing Port Washington.

Catholic Memorial dominated a very good Wauwatosa West team in the Week 5 Kwik Trip Game of the Week and the Crusaders are again a huge favorite in the D4 poll, though Ellsworth did steal a couple first-place votes. Not much changed this week, as Osceola suffered its first defeat of the year, against Ellsworth, and was replaced by Columbus, who's only blemish is a forfeit loss.

Lake Country Lutheran continues to dominate the Division 5 WisSports.net Coaches Poll as the number one team. Amherst is close behind, with Cumberland, Aquinas, and Cedar Grove-Belgium rounding out the top five. Stratford suffered its first defeat of the season to Wittenberg-Birnamwood, causing the Tigers to drop to eighth this week while Wittenberg-Birnamwood, with a 3-3 record, move back in as a tie for tenth with Arcadia.

Regis and Colby are dominating the Division 6 rankings as a clear top two. Cuba City had been third but fell to River Ridge and thus to eighth in the poll this week. Kenosha St. Joseph makes a big jump up from seventh to third, followed by Coleman and Markesan.

Bangor went down in a close game to Spencer/Columbus Catholic, a replacement contest for both teams. That means we have a new number one team in Division 7 once again, with Reedsville ascending to the top spot. Bangor is second, followed by Hurley, Potosi/Cassville, and Highland. Edgar lost to Hurley in another replacement game, the third defeat of the season for the Wildcats, though they hang in the rankings at number seven. River Ridge and Hilbert move in this week.

Gilman remains in the top spot of the 8-player rankings, with just one change in the top five, as Clayton's loss to Shell Lake drops the Bears out of the poll completely. Prairie Farm moves up from seventh to fifth. Three Lakes and Lena/St. Thomas Aquinas share the tenth spot this week.
