Saints get another vote in AP poll
The Xavier boys basketball team has found another fan.
The Saints received one first-place vote in the Associated Press Class 3A rankings last week, but they received two first-place votes in the new poll that was released Monday afternoon.
The Saints (13-2) stayed in the No. 2 spot in Class 3A behind Pella (15-1). Dubuque Wahlert, the two-time defending state champions, received one first-place vote Monday and stayed in the No. 3 spot.
Xavier has a big game on tap Tuesday night when it visits Iowa City West, which is tied for the No. 2 spot in Class 4A.
The Linn-Mar Lions dropped out of the Class 4A rankings Monday after losing both of their games last week. The Lions (9-5) had been ranked sixth.
