TABC Poll: Sabine Still #4, Big Sandy Jumps To 5th

Cardinals can't find poll traction, but the Wildcats do.

TABC RANKINGS, Jan. 26, 2009 -- The Texas Association of Basketball Coaches' rankings for 2A Boys basketball bobbled at the top this week, but it didn't help the Sabine Cardinals any.

Last week's #1, Ponder, dropped a game to seventh ranked Krum, but it only cost them one spot, as they fell to #2. Sabine, despite a blowout of Unino Grove, stayed locked in the fourth spot.

On the other hand, Tobin Reid's Big Sandy Wildcats benefited from losses by Roscoe, Mumford and Petrolia to make a four spot jump on the 1A-1 poll, up to fifth from the ninth spot.
