The one-point loss of previous #1 ranked Hamilton on Friday night (21-20 at Lathrop) has sent the Hornets tumbling three spots in this week’s Class 1 high school football media poll, while a similar story is found in Class 3, where Chillicothe’s shutout win over Maryville has sent the Hornets from un-ranked to the #4 spot in Class 3 after giving the state-power ‘Hounds their first shutout loss in 11 years.
