BOISE, Idaho — Tuesday's high school football state media poll brought new faces to each classification's top five, 5A through 1A DII. At the 5A prep level, four Southern Idaho Conference (SIC) teams make up the top-five rankings, with a tie for the state's No. 2 spot.
Following a 21-7 bounce-back win over Kuna at home, the Eagle Mustangs appeared the state's rankings of top teams. Eagle travels to top-ranked Rocky Mountain Friday night for the annual Herb Criner Bowl.
Pocatello returned to the 4A top five for Week 3. The Thunder ranked No. 3 in Week 1, but dropped out of the top five after a 35-7 season-opening loss to Utah's Morgan High school.
At the 3A level, the top-three teams remained the same, with a new program appearing at No. 5. Undefeated Homedale earned 11 of 13 first-place votes for Week 3. The Trojans face interstate opponent Baker City (Ore.) on the road Friday night.
