Last weekend's slate was quite dramatic with upsets and league heavyweights locking horns. That drama translated to some shake-ups in the WSN/WBCA coaches poll as finally a new No. 1 takes over in Division 3. Here's how things looked as January drew to a close.

Week 10 WSN/WBCA Coaches Poll

Division 1

The top seven spots in this week's poll remained relatively unchanged as Pius, Nicolet and Middleton all remained in place at Nos. 1 through 3. Milwaukee Vincent and Racine Case have traded spots in the No. 4 position with the Vikings taking it in this week's poll, while still unbeaten Chippewa Falls and Pulaski filled in at No. 6 and 7. Oak Creek was handled by Case last week and fell three spots to No. 11. Marshfield entered this week's poll for the first time this season at No. 14, replacing Oshkosh West.

New Arrivals: Marshfield (No. 14)
Dropped Out: Oshkosh West.

Division 2

Luxemburg-Casco is on a mission this season and remained the last unbeaten team in Division 2, also remaining No. 1 in the poll. New Berlin Eisenhower took out the other unbeaten, Pewaukee, impoving the Lions rank to No. 2 this week and sending the Pirates down three spots to no. 5. Union Grove and Beaver Dam moved up to Nos. 3 and 4. Cedarburg returned to the rankings this week as Cudahy and North Shore rival Whitefish Bay both suffered defeats. Sparta also debuted at No. 15 this week.

New Arrivals: Cedarburg (No. 11), Sparta (No. 15)
Dropped Out: Cudahy, Whitefish Bay.

Division 3

Richland Center lost its first conference game since 2007 at Lancaster last Friday, and in turn, dropped three spots to No. 4. Above the Hornets are three remaining unbeaten teams in Dominican, Chilton and Neillsville which moved up to Nos. 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Edgerton's Rock Valley North victory over formerly unbeaten East Troy moved the Crimson Tide up three spots to No. 7, while the Trojans fell to No. 10. Otherwise, every team ranked in last week's poll remained so, with Mondovi, Kewaunee, Xavier, St. Croix Falls and Bloomer rounding out the Top 15.

New Arrivals: None.
Dropped Out: None.

Division 4

As previously mentioned, Lancaster's win over Richland Center bumped the Flying Arrows up one spot to No. 3, behind Regis and Algoma which have held the top two spots all season long. Westby moved up two spots to No. 6 to assume its highest ranking of the season, jumping ahead of Colfax and Osseo-Fairchild. Gillett, Fennimore and Ahmherst held onto spots 10 through 12, while Shoreland Lutheran's win over Racine St. Catherine's pulled the Pacers back into the Top 15.

New Arrivals: Shoreland Lutheran (No. 14)
Dropped Out: Owen-Withee.

Division 5

The top 10 in Division 5 saw little change this week as Newman Catholic, Black Hawk, Seneca, Prentice and Siren all retain their top five spots in order. Independence got a boost from the voters and jumped up two spots to No. 6, while Highland, Northwood, Kickapoo and Goodman/Pembine rounded out the Top 10. The bottom third of the poll has been quite the revolving door though as Marion, Almond-Bancroft and Lake Holcombe all returned to the rankings after brief hiatuses.

New Arrivals: Marion (No. 12), Almond-Bancroft (No. 13), Lake Holcombe (No. 14)
Dropped Out: Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah, Tigerton, River Ridge.
