The Bigfork squads continue to earn recognition as top teams in Class B. The boys, who escaped with a narrow 50-49 victory over Class A Whitefish last night, are ranked fifth. The Vals, also winners last night, are also fifth. The Flathead boys held their ground in the fifth spot in Class AA while Glacier fell out of the top five.
