The Tigers (10-3) return to the court tonight in Hampshire.
Meanwhile, Tygarts Valley, Tucker County and Pendleton all remained in the Class A poll.
The Bulldogs (8-3) and Mountain Lions (11-2) are fifth and seventh, respectively, and the Wildcats (8-2) are up from ninth to 10th.
The Buckhannon-Upshur girls, who have won four straight to improve to 12-3, are still eighth in the AAAA class.
Tucker County (11-4) also remained fourth in singles A and Pendleton County moved from receiving votes to 10th in this week’s poll.
The girls’ section tournament action is set to begin on February 18 and the boys a week later.
