We made the comparison between RPI and the coaches’ poll in boys’ basketball earlier today so now we do the same for the girls’ division. Our comparison does not go as in-depth because there are fewer girls’ basketball teams that received votes from CHSAA. As a result, we compared the top 15 teams in 1A and 3A, the top 16 in Class 2A, the top 20 in Class 4A and the top 13 in Class 5A.
Overall there are ten teams that are in the same position in both polls including three teams at number one.
- 1A: Briggsdale – #1
- 1A: Springfield – #4
- 2A: Wray – #9
- 2A: Peyton – #11
- 2A: Dawson – #16
- 3A: St Mary’s – #1
- 3A: Platte Valley – #10
- 3A: University – #11
- 4A: Erie – #8
- 5A: Cherry Creek – #1
And 17 teams are separated by just one position in the two polls including seven in Class 4A.
