The AP used to do a media poll for high school football. That is gone. So I decided why not bring something similar back. A poll that gauges the minds of all those who cover high school football. Thank you to the members of the Montana Media that participated in this poll!
The third week of the High School Football season is in the books. There are some surprises this week, at least in my opinion. We saw some teams drop completely out while others were on the fringe skyrocket. Seeing how this unfolds throughout the season is going to be a lot of fun. Without further ado...
