Very Little Movement In High School Football Rankings

Class 2 again saw a few small changes, which were still the most local movement in the area in this week’s media high school football rankings. Bowling Green remained sixth as the top six were unchanged. However, Macon dropped one spot to eighth, switching places with Mountain View-Liberty. Centralia remained ninth, and Trenton cracked the list in tenth. Monroe City remains first in Class 1, and Gallatin remained in fifth. Hannibal stayed seventh in class 4. Helias is back on the list at tenth in Class 5, and Rock Bridge is getting votes in Class 6.
