The Delta Lady Panthers check in at No. 10 in Division III in the latest Ohio AP Girls Basketball poll. Delta has two big games in front of them this week as they travel to Evergreen on Thursday with the winner taking sole possession of first place in the NWOAL and then they play at No. 4 Ottawa Glandorf on Saturday.
The Division IV poll has Stryker on the verge of the top ten with the Lady Panthers coming in at No. 11. Stryker opened last week with a loss to Archbold but defeated Pettisville later in the week 46-36 to take over first place in the BBC standings.
