After a two-week hiatus from the 4A poll, Pocatello jumped back in after clobbering Burley Friday night. The Indians landed at No. 5 in the Idaho High School football rankings, released Tuesday.

Under coach Dave Spillett, Poky is 5-1 and off to its best start in a decade. It’s only loss came in the Black and Blue Bowl with a 31-7 defeat to 5A Highland.

The Rams (5-1) remained at No. 4 despite having a bye week.

Elsewhere, Blackfoot jumped a spot to land at No. 2 in the 4A rankings after a one-point victory over Hillcrest. It also benefitted from Vallivue’s first loss of the season, a defeat that gave Skyline every 4A first-place vote and ensured West Side wouldn’t be the only unanimous 11-man team for the third-straight week.

The Pirates remained atop the 2A rankings after a 62-16 rout of Soda Springs, the program’s 16th-consecutive win. Three spots below them was, again, Aberdeen, which stayed put at No. 4 with a 10-point victory over Malad.

Sugar-Salem was the third school to garner every vote in its classification, topping 3A once again with its 5-0 record. But the classification had a shakeup this week.

Marsh Valley (3-3) knocked off previously-unbeaten South Fremont in a 27-19 upset, knocking the Panthers out of the rankings and earning the Eagles a pair of votes.
