Princeton shook off a narrow win over Spring Creek in boys basketball last week with a lopsided 66-30 decision over the Gators Wednesday night, upping the Bulldogs record to 19-0 on the season. Ben Jacobs led the Bulldogs with 18 points, while Wes Wood added 15.

The Bulldogs (6-0 Carolina 1-A) will try to wrap up their first conference championship since the 1980s Friday night when they visit Goldsboro. The Cougars are currently second in the league with a 5-1 mark.

Undefeated Princeton (16-0) is No. 1 in the North Carolina media 1-A basketball poll.

The Garner boys are No. 3 in 4-A, Middle Creek is No. 5 and Wakefield is No. 7.

In 4-A girls, Green Hope is No. 2, Millbrook is No. 5 and Durham Riverside is No. 8.

Raleigh Word of God moves up to No. 3 and Millbrook breaks into the top dozen this week in The News & Observer high school boys basketball rankings.

Princeton and Rosewood have moved their Carolina 1-A Conference basketball battles up a night. The two teams will meet tonight (Monday) at Princeton. The move was made because of the possibility of winter weather on Tuesday night.
