Week 7 Rankings Update
The first full week of action following the holiday break gave us quite a few ranked teams suffering losses, and as a result, the rankings in each class shook up quite a bit. We detail some of the key movement below.
Class 4A
-The top three teams remained unbeaten and stayed in their spots atop the rankings, with North Scott (12-0), Waukee (10-0) and Sioux City East (10-0) going a combined 7-0 during the week.

The Warriors three losses this year are to Sioux City West (twice) and Sioux City East, teams that have spent a majority (or all) of the season in the 4A rankings, and two of those losses were in overtime.

Class 2A
-North Linn (12-0) solidified their claim to the No. 1 spot on Saturday with a 24-point win over a good Aplington-Parkersburg team. The Lynx are winning games by an average of 48 points a game, but needed a big win over a quality 2A team to help make their case in some people’s eyes.
-Camanche (11-1) falls from No. 2 to No. 7 following their loss to Mount Pleasant at the Wells Fargo Advisors Shootout. As a result of that loss, West Sioux (12-0), Treynor (12-0), South Hamilton (11-1), Boyden-Hull (11-0) and Van Meter (10-0) each moved up a spot, now ranking 2-6, respectively.
-No new teams enter in 2A this week, but Western Christian falls from No. 8 to No. 10 following their loss to LeMars. Dike-New Hartford (9-1) and Iowa City Regina (10-2) each moved up a spot as a result.
