Preston, undefeated Declo remain atop their classifications with 1 week remaining in boys basketball season

EASTERN IDAHO — With just over a week left in the boys basketball regular season, there are just three remaining unbeaten teams — one of which being Declo, who has already secured a conference crown.

The Hornets join Kamiah High School as the only undefeated No. 1 teams in the this week’s boys basketball media poll. Valley, the last unbeaten, received two first-place votes, to come in at No. 2 in the 2A classification behind Kamiah.

In 1A, Watersprings, fresh off a loss to Butte County, has fallen to second behind Rockland, despite the Warriors having beat the Bulldogs just two weeks ago and having received more first-place votes.
