Prairie (Cottonwood) Football

Undefeated, state champions in 2008, scored 55 points in the first quarter of a game recently and they aren't even ranked. Sounds like the BCS system in high school sports.

High School Poll makes less sense than colleges

If Centennial beat Eagle and crushed Coeur d' Alene and Vallivue, how do all three of those schools get ranked ahead of Centennial? Being behind Capital, Highland, and Rocky Mountain makes sense, but they proved on the field to be better than the other 3, what gives?

Prairie

Sorry abut the 1A mistake. That was a typo. They are No. 1.

Agreed

Completely agree about the messed up rankings for Centennial..
