Vallivue boys basketball climbs to top of 4A state media poll
The second high school boys basketball state media poll was released Tuesday evening, and Vallivue found itself atop the 4A rankings.
The Falcons, which dropped to 4A this season, took over the No. 1 spot from Bishop Kelly after the Knights lost at home last week to Skyview. Vallivue’s only loss this season came to Rocky Mountain, which remains second in the 5A rankings.
