Skyline moves to No. 1 in 5A state media poll, more shakeups in 3A

Skyline, winner of five straight games including a victory over 6A power Highland last week, moved to the top spot in this week’s 5A state media poll.

The Grizzlies (6-2) edged out previous No. 1 Bishop Kelly by a point with both teams earning six first-place votes.

As expected, the 3A rankings were scrambled again following No. 1 Aberdeen’s loss to West Side. Declo, whose lone loss is to Aberdeen, moved into the No. 1 spot while West Side slid into the No. 2 spot. Aberdeen dropped to No. 3, while Firth stayed at four. Ririe, with its win at previous No. 5 North Fremont, entered the poll at No. 5 while the Huskies dropped out of the top five.

Logos took over the No. 1 spot in 2A after defeating previous No. 1 Kendrick. Butte County, which suffered its first loss of the season at Hagerman, dropped from No. 2 to No. 5.
