No. 1

The Central Lakes College men's basketball team moved up from No. 2 to the top spot in the Dec. 13 Division III rankings just released by the National Junior College Athletic Association. The 11-0 Raiders, who face to opponents this weekend which they have already defeated this season (Rainy River and Fond Du Lac), jumped past co-holders of the runner-up spot, Sullivan County (12-1, host site for the March national tournament) and Sandhills, and the previous leader, Herkimer County Community College, whose loss dropped it to No. 5. Roxbury is rated fourth. Rochester of Minnesota (8-2) is among those receiving votes after the Top 10.
