Highland Again Top Pick In Idaho State Prep Football Poll

The ranks of the unbeaten thinned last week in Idaho high school football, causing some shuffling among the Associated Press rankings.

The state’s sportswriters and sportscasters continued to pick Highland of Pocatello as the top team among Idaho’s largest schools. The Rams were the unanimous selection after blowing out A-1 Division II Blackfoot, 46-28.

Second-ranked Pocatello also stepped into Division II last week, knocking off top-ranked and previously unbeaten Madison, 24-14.

Pocatello and Highland will square off Friday on the Indians’ home field for the top spot in next week’s poll.

The Borah Lions were the only casualty among the biggest schools, dropping a 14-10 decision to Centennial. It was their first loss of the season, dropping them to fourth place in the poll.
