BOISE, Idaho — A battle of the state's top-two teams and an out-of-state loss rattled the 5A rankings in the latest Idaho high school football state media poll, released Tuesday.
Eagle maintained its No. 1 spot and captured all 13 first-place votes following a 40-21 win in Week 6 over previously undefeated Boise. The Brave dropped one spot, while Meridian climbed back into the poll after defeating Centennial for its fourth-straight victory.
Post Falls (5A) and Canyon Ridge (4A) both dropped out of the rankings ahead of Week 7 following losses to Mt. Spokane and Minico respectively. Twin Falls, who rolled to a 68-22 win over Mountain Home, replaced the Riverhawks in the No. 5 spot on Tuesday.
While some classifications saw the same order of top-five teams, change is on the horizon. At the 3A level, No. 2 Homedale hosts No. 3 Weiser on Friday in a clash between 6-0 squads. Meanwhile, the two best 2A teams collide as Declo visits West Side.
The prep football rankings entering Week 7 are listed below by classification, voted on by sports reporters across Idaho. Be sure to cast your vote for KTVB's Friday Night Football Game of the Week:
