After six weeks, four local teams have cracked the top five in the most recent Idaho High School Football Media Poll.
Highland hasn’t lost a game in the last six weeks, but everyone in the upper-echelon of 5A football hasn’t lost either. And so, even with a 10-point win over Thunder Ridge, the Rams remain at No 4.
Elsewhere, West Side is still the top of the class in 2A after a dominating win over Soda Springs. And speaking of dominating wins, North Gem jumped to No. 5 in the 1A DII rankings after a 54-0 rout of Challis.
Snake River used a big win over Teton to earn a quartet of points in the 3A classification, which ties the Panthers with Kellogg for the No. 5 spot.
And, lastly, Pocatello is barely on the edge of the 4A rankings. The Thunder are technically sixth after getting back on track with a commanding victory over Burley.
Here’s the full rankings.
