Idaho boys basketball rankings: These are the state tournament favorites in every class

Idaho will crown its boys basketball state champions in nine days. And reporters around the state picked the tournament favorites in the final high school media poll of the season, released Thursday.

Owyhee (6A), Preston (5A) and Bonners Ferry (4A) capped their wire-to-wire runs as the top-ranked teams in their classifications. But the rankings are anything but a consensus as Marsh Valley (4A), Cole Valley Christian (4A), Kendrick (2A) and Cascade (1A) all broke into the final rankings.

See the full class-by-class rankings below.
