Boys' basketball Super Ten

Last one this season. Cedar Rapids Washington moves up to No. 2 because it swept No. 3 Cedar Rapids Jefferson and No. 4 Cedar Rapids Kennedy.

Someone asked me last week why no small schools in the Super Ten. It's simple score comparing and simple common sense (at least what I think is my common sense).

Marion, for instance, was pounded by both Jefferson and Kennedy this season. And do you really think an Iowa Mennonite or a Keota could beat a Mississippi Valley Conference team, even an average one? Maybe they could, but i don't think so.

So here we go with the poll:
