Anna, Lehman Catholic and Sidney all moved up this week in the Associated Press state football poll, while Minster dropped out of the rankings completely.
Sidney was ranked sixth in Division II last week and is fourth this week. The Yellow Jackets beat Tippecanoe 49-42 last Thursday and continue Greater Western Ohio Conference American North Division play this Friday against Troy.
Anna bounced back after its first loss of the season with a 21-19 win over St. Henry last Friday. The Rockets were eighth last week and move up to No. 6 this week in Division V following the win over the Redskins, which are ranked ninth in Division VI. Anna hosts Parkway on Friday.
Lehman crushed a Northwest Central Conference team for the fourth consecutive week with a 77-14 win over Waynesfield-Goshen on Friday. The Cavaliers are No. 6 in Division VII, up two spots from last week.
Minster dropped out of the top 10 in Division VII two weeks ago but received votes last week. The Wildcats, which lost 17-16 to Coldwater last Friday, didn’t receive enough votes to be listed in the poll this week.
