Week 8 Rankings Update
After another eventful week of action around the state, there are two new #1 teams and plenty of other movement across all four classes. We break down the key movement below.
In Class 4A, Iowa City West (12-1) takes over the top spot following Cedar Falls’ (11-2) loss to Waterloo West (13-2), who completed the season sweep of the Tigers. The Trojans have lost just once this year, a one-point loss to Senior, and have posted impressive wins over Dowling Catholic, Hempstead, Waterloo West and Rock Island (IL). Ankeny Centennial (15-1), winners of nine straight, move up to #2 this week following their win over Waukee (11-2). The aforementioned Waterloo West Wahawks move up to #5 this week following that sweep of Cedar Falls, while North Scott (3) and Senior (4) round out the top five. A pair of West Des Moines teams enter the rankings this week – Valley at #9, Dowling Catholic at #10.
Assumption (12-2) takes over the #1 spot in 3A this week, the second time the Knights have ascended to the top. Norwalk (12-3) falls from #1 to #3 following their loss to Pella Christian, and Marion (15-1) moves up to #2. Clear Lake (14-2) enters the rankings at #10.
Things remain pretty much the same in 2A, where the top seven teams stay in their slots, led by #1 West Sioux (17-0). #2 Camanche lost last week, but that was a loss to 4A #4 Senior, and they were very competitive in that game. Western Christian (13-3) and Beckman Catholic (14-3) flip spots at #8 and #9, respectively, and Aplington-Parkersburg (14-1) enters at #10.
The lone movement in Class 1A comes with Montezuma (14-2) dropping from #2 to #4, with Easton Valley (15-0) and Bishop Garrigan (15-2) each moving up a spot as a result.
