The Marion boys soccer team continues to move up the poll, pulling in at No. 9 in this week's Iowa High School Soccer Coaches Association Class 2A rankings.

Marion (8-0) broke into the rankings two weeks ago at No. 15. The Indians moved up to 13 last week.

Xavier continues to lead the 2A poll. The Saints have been ranked No. 1 since the start of the season. They again received all nine first-place votes.

Washington held on to the No. 5 spot in Class 3A, but Kennedy slid two spots to No. 6. Linn-Mar fell three spots to No. 15.

Kennedy plays at Linn-Mar tonight (May 5) and the Cougars host Xavier Friday night (May 6). Washington hosts Jefferson tonight at Kingston Stadium.
