Observer boys’ Sweet 16 poll: No. 1 Butler shooting for school-record win
Butler High remains No. 1 in the Observer’s boys’ basketball Sweet 16 poll this week.
The girls’ poll was released earlier this week and Mallard Creek remains No. 1.
In the boys’ poll, No. 1 Butler has tied a school-record with 18 straight wins. The Bulldogs can break the record with a win Friday night against visiting Garinger (3-15).
No new teams joined this week’s poll. Though several top 10 teams lost, there was shuffling but no major movement.
