Atop the FOX 11 Top 11 no change as Little Chute, De Pere remain No. 1

GREEN BAY - Nothing has changed atop the FOX 11 Top 11 boys and girls basketball rankings as Little Chute (boys) and De Pere (girls) continue to play perfect basketball.

After Little Chute on the boys side, though, there was movement. Neenah fell from No. 2 to No. 4 after a road loss at Oshkosh North and another North, Sheboygan moved into the No. 2 spot.

At No. 3 is De Pere, which hasn’t lost since the season opener. Seymour rounds out the top 5.

Kaukauna and Bay Port are newcomers into the poll.

On the girls side, the top seven teams are undefeated: De Pere, New London, Bay Port, Kimberly, Manitowoc, Berlin and Algoma, which is new to the poll this week after edging arch rival Kewaunee, 49-46, last week on a last-second shot.

Also new to the poll are Eastern Valley Conference co-leader Fox Valley Lutheran and Notre Dame, which is the only 2-loss team in the poll.
