As the season is beginning to come closer to its end and most of the big Invitationals behind us, it is become much more clear as to which teams are rising to the top.

The 4A boy’s poll has had a lot of turnover all season and this week probably contains the most changes. Three teams received 1st place votes and Reagan HS, not even ranked early, is now your #1 ranked team.

The 4A girl’s poll has been owned by Green Hope all season, but Ardrey Kell and Watauga’s girls are starting to make some noise and many coaches are taking note.

In the 3A boy’s classification, it looks like the teams sitting at 3-6 are all solid and could make the state meet pretty fun. The Chapel Hill boys continue to hold strong as the #1 team in 3A and the #1 team in the state.

The 2A boys and girls may be the most open of all the classifications. North Lincoln as just jumped onto the scene in the past week and a half and have gone from not ranked to #2 in both polls! It looks like 5 teams will be competing for the #2 spot behind Carrboro in the boys race.

The 1A girl’s classification is starting to heat up as well, as North Stokes has begun to prove themselves. Right now it looks 3 or more teams could be in the hunt . . . this one is still wide open!

Charlotte Latin’s girls remain at the top of the Independent schools and Providence Day’s boys are still holding on, too. Both of those teams are 3A schools, but the competition is also heating up in the 1A & 2A classifications. On the girl’s side, Village Christian, St. David’s, Cary Christian, & Asheville Christian School are all in the mix. For the boys, it is St. David’s, Asheville Christian School, & High Point Christian.

The next poll comes out in two weeks after all of the conference meets are concluded. The NCISAA will then have their State Championship the following weekend. The NCHSAA will have one more regular poll, then a poll solely devoted to the teams qualified for the state meet.
