Van Wert independent sports

Crestview remains No. 2 behind Berlin Hiland in Division IV in this week’s Associated Press Ohio high school basketball poll, but there was movement involving other area schools.

After losing to Lexington on Saturday, Ottawa-Glandorf fell from No. 5 to No. 9 in Division III. Despite winning twice over the weekend, St. Henry and Hicksville dropped in Division IV. The Redskins were tied for No. 3 with Toronto last week but are No. 4 this week and the Aces fell one spot to No. 9. Marion Local is back in the small school poll at No. 14.

Trotwood Madison and Columbus South are tied for No. 1 in Division II after last week’s top ranked team – Dayton Chaminade Julienne – lost.
