Division 1
Arrowhead dominates the rankings again, with Bay Port still second. Hamilton slides just ahead of West De Pere, will take on second-ranked Bay Port this week. Fifth-ranked Muskego will travel to top-ranked Arrowhead as we get a pair of top five matchups in Division 1. Verona and Hudson are into the poll this week, while Appleton North and Franklin drop out.
Division 2
Notre Dame remains atop the Division 2 Coaches Poll, with Homestead moving just ahead of Monona Grove for third. Kaukauna has been up and down the rankings this season, and goes from unranked to seventh this week. Menomonee Falls falls out of the poll this week.
Division 3
Pewaukee stays atop the Division 3 poll, followed in the top five by the same group from last week: Port Washington, Plymouth, La Crosse Logan, and Reedsburg. Catholic Memorial lost a fourth straight game, all against quality D1 opponents, yet the Crusaders’ considerable talent has them still in the poll despite a 2-4 record, sitting at tenth this week. New Berlin Eisenhower replaces Whitefish Bay in the rankings.
Division 4
Freedom beat Little Chute in a number one versus number two matchup last week, causing Little Chute to slip to fourth. Northwestern is up to second, followed by West Salem. Evansville suffered its first loss of the year against Delavan-Darien slips to tenth.
Division 5
Darlington remains in the number one position, followed again this week by Amherst, Racine Lutheran, and Durand-Arkansaw. Lake Country Lutheran was ranked second just a couple weeks ago, but two straight losses, the most recent against Watertown Luther Prep, has the Lightning down to tenth this week.
Division 6
Not many changes in Division 6 this week, with Bonduel still the number one team while Lomira, Edgar, Manitowoc Lutheran, and Mondovi round out the top five. Prairie du Chien slips out of the poll this week, while Belleville moves back in.
Division 7
Cochrane-Fountain City is still the top-ranked team in Division 7, with Glenwood City and Shiocton close behind. Pepin/Alma is back up to fourth, with Ithaca/Weston jumping into the poll at number five. Losses by Cashton and Webster slide those teams down the poll a bit, and Iowa-Grant falls out.
8-Player
Gilman continues to dominate all comers this year, including a big win over former second-ranked Assumption last week. The Royals dip to sixth. Belmont climbs to second, followed by Valley Christian, Clear Lake, and Shell Lake. Palmyra-Eagle moves into the poll this week at number ten.
