Hard to believe, but there is only one more vote by the ranking team. Next weekend is the final time for rankings and then the real rankings begin…..the playoffs. Then we get to see who the best teams in the state really are.

There was some movement this week with several of the ranked teams losing a game last weekend. Doesn’t mean that those teams won’t make a lot of noise in the playoffs, just means they lost a game in regular season. And sometimes, the loss of a game in regular season is one of the things that motivates a team to play with more emotion, with more discipline and with a sense of urgency.

Yes, the sense of urgency, because the high school game of football, for 2023, is quickly coming to an end.
