Coach Aaron Thomas' squad moved up one position to replace Western Christian of Hull (3-1), which fell two spots to No. 3 after suffering its first loss of the season.

Aplington-Parkersburg's top competitor in the new North Iowa Cedar League Central Division is expected to be Denver. The Cyclones (5-1) are ranked at No. 4 in Class 2A.
