Class 5A experienced a similar first week with No. 10 Mundy’s Mill being the lone team to leave the rankings. The Tigers were defeated by Woodland-Stockbridge 63-46 and the 2-0 Wolfpack enter the poll at No. 10.
In Class 4A, Fayette County’s 77-56 loss to Class 7A No. 5 Pebblebrook resulted in Fayette County falling from No. 2 to No. 4.
