After five full weeks of action, only a pair of local teams cracked the top five in the in the latest Idaho High School Football Media Poll.
After rolling over Madison, Highland remained at No. 4 in the 5A rankings. And, again, West Side sits atop of the 2A poll following the Pirates’ 42-8 victory over conference foe Bear Lake.
Perhaps the most surprising local angle out of the Week 6 rankings is the departure of Pocatello. The Thunder vaulted up to No. 1 in the 4A rankings after a 3-0 start but two-straight losses to 5A competition — Highland and Idaho Falls — dropped them to sixth.
Pocatello is one of four local squads to earn votes but still sit on the outside looking in. Behind it in 4A, Preston earned a pair of points. Snake River is the seventh-ranked squad in after a big win over South Fremont. And North Gem is again the No. 6 team in 1A DII.
Here’s the full rankings.
