Despite going to 15-0 Rensselaer Central drops one spot from #18 to #19 despite being the only undefeated team listed in the Top 20 this week. The Lady Bombers appear to be on pace to at least equal the 2005-06 wins record of 20 with eight games remaining.

Below are results of the IBCA girls’ basketball poll for Week 8 (Dec. 24, 2023)

The IBCA poll is a “non-class” poll, where teams are voted to a Top 20 regardless of school classification.

There are 20 panelists who vote for the poll — one voter each from the 16 regionals; three at-large voters (one each from IHSAA Districts 1, 2 and 3); and the committee chairman (Doug Springer of Northridge).

This poll is released on Sundays throughout the 2023-24 Indiana high school girls’ basketball season. The final poll for the season will be on Jan. 28, 2024, the Sunday following the completion of regular-season games.

 IHSAA sectional games are scheduled Jan. 30-Feb. 3, 2024.
