The sixth week of the High School Football season is in the books. We are starting to see Top 5 match-ups and seeing some teams distance themselves from the pack. We have seen a few upsets along the way. We have only three weeks left of the regular season and every game tightens the playoff race.
Thank you to the members of the Montana Media that participated in this poll!
