Roseburg began to close in on
Klamath Falls in the Associated
Press state high school basketball
poll this week, but Klamath Falls
was still the favorite of 11 of the
15 sports writers and broadcasters
who voted.
Roseburg was a scant seven
points behind after garnering Hie
other four votes for the top spot.
Klamath Falls was a unanimous
choice two weeks ago. (
The two Southern Oregon teams
split a couple of early season
games.
Grant of Portland the only
undefeated team in the top 10
moved up another step this week
to third, replacing Mcdford,
which dropped to fourth after a
weekend loss to Klamath Falls.
South Eugene retained its fifth
place ranking, and Wilson of
Portland retained sixth spot after
two weekend wins, including a
62-60 squeaker by the latter over
Cleveland.
The last four places in the elite
group showed a real shuffle. Cor
valiis moved from ninth to sev
enth after two weekend victories,
Marshfield, beaten by Roseburg,
(tayed in eighth place.
Bend moved up from No. 10 to
No. 9. Beaverton, absent from the
select 10 last week, moved back
this week into 10th place.
Meanwhile, previously unbeaten
La Grande dropped from seventh
