Mid-Prairie moves up in rankings

After last week’s 28-0 win over Sigourney-Keota, the Mid-Prairie football team is No. 7 in Class 2A, two spots higher than one week before.

Mid-Prairie is currently the only Union area team in the Top-10 rankings, but Pekin and WACO are beginning to creep up. The Panthers and Warriors both got enough votes to be the first team out in the new rankings.
