Class 1A's North Central league features four teams ranked in this week's top-10. So Friday's matchup between No. 5 Wray and No. 6 Burlington was of a little extra importance.
There were three individual champions out of the Southern Region of Class 5A boys golf on Wednesday after a massive thunderstorm caused the cancellation of a playoff.
A total of ten teams jumped into this week's football rankings. They are: Montrose and Monarch (4A); Fort Morgan (3A); Eaton and D'Evelyn (2A); Holyoke and Cornerstone Christian (1A); Rangely and Soroco (8-man); and Briggsdale (6-man).
The fact that each team opened a half of football by recovering a cheeky onside kick should tell you all you need to know about how badly both Skyline and Mead wanted bragging rights in the local rivalry series on Friday night.
