Brookfield’s 48-6 win over last week’s eighth-ranked South Harrison allowed the Bulldogs to take their place in the Class 2 statewide media rankings. Bowling Green remained second, and hosts third-ranked Valle this week. South Shelby dropped from a tie for fifth into ninth place following a 28-14 loss to Centralia, and Centralia is again getting votes, as is South Harrison. In Class 1, Van-Far remains sixth, Milan remains in eighth place, Salisbury is still in ninth, and Westran is in tenth. Marceline is getting a vote. Blair Oaks remains on top of Class 3. Southern Boone is up one to eighth, and Boonville dropped out, but is getting votes. Kirksville remains in third in Class 4, and Hannibal dropped into a tie for seventh. Helias remains tied for fourth in Class 5, and Capital City is still getting votes. Rock Bridge is ninth in Class 6.
