COLUMBUS – For a second consecutive week Tri-Village fell in the Associated Press’ boys basketball state rankings.
Tri-Village is ranked seventh in Division IV in the fourth state poll of the 2015-16 season. The Patriots were ranked fourth last week after being ranked second in the first two polls of the season.
Van Wert Lincolnview, Defiance Ayersville and Sandusky St. Mary remain the top three teams in the Division IV state rankings this week. Jackson Center, Mogadore and Gorham Fayette also moved ahead of the defending state champion Patriots following their loss last week to state-ranked Miami East.
Tri-Village is the only Darke County boys basketball team included in this week’s boys basketball state rankings. Versailles was ranked in the first two polls of the season but fell out of the rankings last week.
A number of other schools with local connections are ranked this week. Wayne from the Greater Western Ohio Conference is ranked No. 1 in Division I, Trotwood-Madison from the GWOC is ranked No. 5 in Division II, and Miami East from the Cross County Conference is ranked No. 8 in Division III.
