It was a good week for Washtenaw County's basketball teams in the state rankings.

The Huron girls and the Greenhills boys both made their debuts in the weekly Associated Press prep basketball poll, while the Manchester and Arbor Preparatory girls teams both made moves up.

The Huron girls, fresh off beating defending state champion Goodrich Thursday, received 12 votes and were three spots out of the top 10 in Class A. The Greenhills boys, at 15-1 on the year, received seven votes in Class C.

In the Class C girls poll, Manchester moved up to No. 3, its highest ranking of the year, while Arbor Prep moved up to No. 9, also its highest ranking.

Full rankings are below.

Area Standings

We’ve reached the final night of Southeastern Conference girls basketball play Tuesday night. And neither league championship is in contention.

Five county girls basketball teams have won a share of a league championship or a league championship outright: Huron (SEC Red), Dexter (SEC White), Manchester (Cascades), Greenhills (MIAC Blue) and Rudolf Steiner (Mid-South).

Three boys teams have done the same: Ypsilanti (SEC White), Greenhills (MIAC Blue) and Rudolf Steiner (Mid South).

Two more more boys basketball teams control their own destinies in league races: the Milan boys take their 25-game Huron League win streak on the road to second-place Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central. A win gives the Big Reds at least a share of a league title.

Willow Run, after a 1-8 start to the season (now a 2-7 start thanks to a forfeit by River Rouge), now stands at 5-1 in the Michigan Metro Athletic Conference and can clinch a share of the league title with a March 1 win over Detroit Community.

Pioneer and Huron are also still in the SEC Red title hunt. Both are still down two games to Temperance Bedford with three games left in league play. Pioneer will take on the Kicking Mules Tuesday night at home, and must win to stay in the race.
