Minot’s girls and Century’s boys again rule their roosts in the North Dakota Associated Press Sportscasters & Sportswriters Association AA basketball polls, released Monday.
The Majettes, who shelled West Fargo in their season opener Friday, are on top of 16 of the 17 voters’ ballots. Second-ranked Horace received the other top vote.
Later this week, the Patriot boys will begin their season in a holiday event in Gillette, Wyoming. They garnered 13 of the 17 first-place nods. Second-place Horace earned three and number-three Bismarck had one.
