Shakeup in this week’s 6A state media poll, while Ririe gets company atop 3A rankings

This week’s state media football poll had one big shakeup as previous 6A No. 1 Rocky Mountain dropped to No. 4 after its loss to Timberline.

That moved everyone else up a spot as Eagle took over the top 6A spot, followed by Rigby and Timberline. Rigby, which beat previously unbeaten 5A Hillcrest last week, received three first-place votes, but trailed Eagle by 10 points.

Hillcrest stayed at No. 2 in the 5A poll, but No. 1 Bishop Kelly took in all 10 first-place votes.

American Falls dropped out of the 4A poll after a loss to Snake River.

In 3A, despite Ririe’s impressive win over North Fremont, West Side moved up a spot to tie the Bulldogs atop the poll with 45 points. North Fremont remained in the third spot.

Rockland, which was fourth in last week’s 1A poll, dropped to fifth behind Genesee.
