For the first time this season, the Dickinson Trinity girls basketball team was not ranked in the top 10 by members of the North Dakota Associated Press Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association, which released its latest poll on Monday.
The Titans, who began the season No. 1, defeated Mott-Regent but also lost to Kidder County last week, dropping them from their No. 8 spot. They still received votes in the poll.
Trinity’s boys team retained its No. 8 spot in the poll after a 3-0 week, which included an upset of then-No. 5 Linton-HMB on Saturday.
