Feb. 24, 2014 2:35 pm
It's same teams in a little different order in the final Gazette/Iowa Prep Sports boys' basketball poll of the 2013-14 season.
Class 3A and 4A teams began district/substate play Monday night.
The only 4A team in action is No. 5 Des Moines North, which somehow ended up seeded third in its power-packed substate despite a 19-2 record.Sixth-ranked Johnston (17-4) and No. 9 Southeast Polk (16-4) also are in that substate.
So much for spreading the wealth, huh?Dubuque Senior ends the season as 4A's No. 1, followed by Bettendorf and North Scott. All are 20-1.Iowa City West lost last week to 3A top-ranked Dubuque Wahlert (17-4) and dropped from second to fourth. After its big win over West, Wahlert lost to Cedar Rapids Kennedy but maintained the No. 1 spot.
The Golden Eagles' losses this regular season were to Senior (twice, including once in overtime), North Scott and Kennedy. Those teams have a combined 56-7 record.Harlan is No. 2 in 3A's final poll, followed by Clear Lake, Dallas Center-Grimes and Waverly-Shell Rock.
