Heading into the final week of the regular season, local teams didn’t see much movement in the latest Idaho High School Football Media Poll.
Highland remained fourth in the 5A poll despite losing 44-21 to top-seeded Rigby.
Pocatello also didn’t move up from No. 5 in the 4A poll after edging conference foe Preston in Holt Arena on Friday. Again at No. 5, too, was North Gem, which remains at the bottom of 1A DII following a 62-0 thrashing of Mackay.
The least surprising, though, was West Side staying atop the 2A rankings. The Pirates extended their winning streak to 28 games after a dominating shutout win over Aberdeen.
Other local teams receiving votes this week were Marsh Valley (3A), which fell to second-ranked Gooding on Thursday, and Bear Lake (2A), which has three losses, but all to really good teams.
