Rocky Mountain (5A) held on to its No. 2 ranking, and Bishop Kelly (4A) and Cole Valley Christian (2A) each climbed up a spot to second in the latest Idaho boys basketball state media poll released Tuesday.

Rocky Mountain has won 17 straight games, but it still trails No. 1-ranked Madison, which has won 10 in a row.

A week after falling out of the top spot in 4A, Bishop Kelly moved back up one spot to No. 2 with back-to-back wins over Emmett and fourth-ranked Middleton. Vallivue overtook the Vikings for third place.

And in 3A, Weiser held on to its No. 1 ranking for the seventh straight week.
