Preston, Rockland maintain one-spots, Madison, Snake River drop in latest boys basketball polls

EASTERN IDAHO — Preston and Rockland maintain their grasps on the No. 1 spots of their respective divisions in the latest media polls — neither has faltered, holding those spots in every poll of the season.
