Sigourney-Keota 5, WACO 7

With the 2021 postseason approaching a pair of area football teams are still unbeaten. Both Sigourney-Keota and WACO are still unscathed and both are barreling toward the playoffs with a Top-10 ranking.

Sigourney-Keota has settled in at No. 5 in a Class 1A field that hasn’t changed much at the top. Class 1A has six 7-0 teams leading the poll.

The Cobras are coming off yet another blowout win. Sigourney-Keota blasted Central Decatur 37-9 this week, putting them one-win away from a second-straight undefeated regular season.

WACO’s undefeated season is already a reality. The Warriors knocked off rival Winfield-Mount Union 47-20, and with a bye in the final week of 8-Player play, the Warriors are in great shape.

WACO moved one spot up to No. 7 in the Class 8-Player rankings. That’s the highest they have been all year.

There is just one change in the top spots. Cedar Rapids Kennedy has pulled ahead to be No. 1 all alone in Class 5A after sharing the top spot with Southeast Polk last week.
