Forest Park (4-1) defeated Class A's Loogootee and moved up from No. 2. Tell City (3-0) made the biggest gain in AA, moving up five spots to fifth.
In the girls' poll, Jeffersonville (6-1) is seventh in Class 4-A, Corydon (5-1) is fifth in AAA, Southwestern (6-1) is fourth in AA and South Central (7-1) is 10th in A.
