Which central Ohio high school girls basketball teams made fifth AP poll of 2024?
Two central Ohio girls basketball teams remain undefeated, and one of them has moved up one spot in this week's Ohio Associated Press rankings.
Circleville (18-0) is No. 4 in Division II, having won three games since last week's poll was released. The Tigers played those games without star freshman center Addison Edgington, who was severely injured in a car crash Jan. 26.
Newark Catholic (17-0) also is still unbeaten, and again ranked third in Division IV.
