The fifth basketball rankings of the season have been released by the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union (IGHSAU).

Six teams from the Cedar Valley and Northeast Iowa are considered to be some of the state's elite teams.

Cedar Falls and Waverly-Shell Rock are both ranked sixth in their respective classes. In Class-5A, Cedar Falls (9-1) moved up four spots from No. 10 in the December 18, 2014, poll. The Go-Hawks (10-0) climbed three spots from No. 9 in Class-4A.

Crestwood made a one spot jump in the Class-3A rankings. The Cadets (8-1) are ranked eighth in this week's survey, moving up from No. 9.

Dike-New Hartford is ranked seventh in Class-2A. The Wolverines (8-2) are the only team among the six that fell in the rankings since the last poll was released, the result of a 48-38 loss at Crestwood on Saturday.

Tripoli and Turkey Valley are both featured in the Class-1A poll. Tripoli (7-1) is No. 12, which is a two-spot jump from No. 14 in the Dec. 18 rankings. Turkey Valley (9-1) was unranked in the last survey and makes its debut at No. 13 this week.

The IGHSAU released this week's basketball rankings on Thursday (January 8, 2015).
