Division 1

No change in top portion of the Division 1 Coaches Poll this week, as Oshkosh North retains the top spot, followed by FVA rival Kimberly. The teams will finally meet up for the first time this season one week from tonight. Sun Prairie is the only new team to the rankings, taking the place of Middleton, who the Cardinals of Sun Prairie beat last week.

Division 2

La Crosse Central is a near-unanimous #1 choice in Division 2, followed once again by unbeaten Beaver Dam. Stoughton's overtime loss to #3 Waunakee on Saturday at the Badger Challenge dropped the Vikings to #5 this week, as Pewaukee jumps into the fourth spot. Pulaski is in a tie for first place in the FRCC and sitting at 10-1 overall, and the Red Raiders break into the top ten for the first time this week at #10.

Division 3

Ripon just keeps marching on, knocking off defending state champion Waupun last week to maintain the top position in the rankings. Unbeatens Xavier and Westby are close behind. Prescott went down to G-E-T in a non-conference contest, as G-E-T enters the rankings at #8, while Prescott falls from fifth to ninth. Previous unranked squads Prairie du Chien and Martin Luther are tied for the tenth spot. The depth of D3 is really starting to shine, as the list of teams deserving of strong consideration for the rankings includes Waupun, Adams-Friendship, Columbus, Hayward, Bloomer, Evansville, Campbellsport, Altoona, Valders, and Cedar Grove-Belgium to name a few, though there just aren't enough spots for all of them in the rankings.

Division 4

Not much changed in the D4 rankings this week, as Destiny remains on top. Darlington took down previous D5 #1 Barneveld Monday night and slots in second. The only loss by a ranked team last week was Spring Valley falling to Saint Croix Central, though the Cardinals narrowly hang in the top ten at #10.

Division 5

A Monday night loss to D4 #1 Darlington was enough to narrowly unseat Barneveld from the top spot in Division 5, as Six Rivers foe Shullsburg moves into the top spot, with Barneveld second. McDonell Central suffered its third defeat, this time at the hands of Marathon, but the defending state champions drop just two spots to sixth. Pecatonica and undefeated Rio are new teams to this week's poll.
