WMU still No. 1 in IHSAA rankings

The Iowa High School Athletic Association’s new Class 8-Player — Class 2A rankings were released on Monday. It was the second week of IHSAA rankings, and three teams are on the list.

In Class 8-Player, Winfield-Mount Union continued to shine as the No. 1 team in the poll. The Wolves are once again one spot ahead of Gazette No. 1 team Gladbrook-Reinbeck.

WACO still is in the poll. The Warriors come in at No. 10 for the second-straight week.

Sigourney-Keota makes its IHSAA poll debut by jumping to No. 9 in the Class 1A poll. The Cobras were already being ranked in The Gazette rankings, but failed to make an appearance in the first IHSAA poll last week.

The IHSAA doesn’t rank Class 3A-Class 5A teams. Those teams use the RPI system for playoff picks and seeding.

It’s not looking good for the Union’s Class 3A teams. Out of 36 Class 3A teams, Fairfield, Washington and Mt. Pleasant are ranked No. 27, 29 and 36 respectively in the RPI.

Full RPI rankings can be found on the IHSAA website under the football tab.
