Class 1 remains steady as the high school football season heads into the postseason, as the final two victims for Valle Catholic in the Warriors 2015 championship season, the Marceline Tigers and Penney Hornets, remain chasing the Cape Girardeau power in the poll. In Class 2, Lexington’s loss to Richmond dropped the Minutemen out of the poll, while three teams in Class 3, District 8 are ranked in this week’s Top 10.
