Sidney dropped in this week’s Associated Press state football poll, while Anna and Lehman Catholic remained in the same spots as last week’s poll.
The Yellow Jackets were ranked fourth in Division II last week but are ninth this week following last Friday’s 48-21 loss to Troy. Sidney (7-1) continues Greater Western Ohio Conference American North Division on Friday at Vandalia-Butler.
Anna (7-1) remains at No. 6 in Division V. The Rockets blasted Parkway 42-0 last week and travel to Coldwater on Friday in a Midwest Athletic Conference game.
Lehman (7-1) continued its roll over Northwest Central Conference opponents last Friday with a 55-0 win over Upper Scioto Valley. The Cavaliers remain at No. 6 in Division VII. Lehman hosts Lima Perry on Friday at Sidney Memorial Stadium in a showdown between the last two schools undefeated in NWCC play.
Minster did not crack the top 10 in Division VII but did receive votes after dropping out completely last week. The Wildcats (4-4) beat New Bremen 42-21 last Friday and host Versailles this Friday in a MAC game.
