Milton is back on top of the Class 5A boys basketball rankings with help from Tri-Cities, the team that is now No. 2.

Tri-Cities defeated previous No. 1 Woodward Academy 74-69 last week. Point guard Tre Keith, a top-100 national sophomore prospect, scored 30 points and had eight rebounds and eight assists. Sean Van Dorn had 20 points and 11 rebounds.

Tri-Cities and Woodward, now ranked No. 3, will play again Monday night at Woodward in a Region 4-5A game. Both are 18-4.
