BOISE, Idaho — Following last week's chaotic schedule of postponements, rivalry contests and Saturday games in the Treasure Valley due to poor air quality, Tuesday's Idaho high school football media poll was relatively calm.
For the second-straight week, four Southern Idaho Conference (SIC) programs earned a spot in the 5A top five for Week 4. Last week's rankings brought a tie in the top two, but Rigby's 49-14 win over Bonneville catapulted the Trojans ahead of undefeated Meridian.
At the 4A level, Lakeland moved into the state media poll's top five Tuesday. The 4-0 Hawks traveled to West Valley High School (Wash.) for a 23-0 win Sept. 8.
Despite the chaos of Week 3, the state's 3A rankings remained the same, while two programs made their way into the top five at the 2A and 1A DI level.
In the Treasure Valley, Horseshoe Bend claimed the 1A DII No. 5 spot. The Mustangs are off to a 3-0 start and travel to face fellow unbeaten Camas County (No. 4) Friday at 4 p.m.
