Only two weeks remain in the regular season season high school football in the state of Kansas and the race for a playoff spot is heating up. Entering week eight of action eight area teams are in at least one set of rankings across the State. 

Class 2-1A continues to be the classification that houses several area teams in the rankings matter of fact four area teams are in at least one poll in 2-1A. That includes the team that has been ranked #1 all season in the 7-0 Troy Trojans who won the Twin Valley League 11-Man title last week with a 20-6 win over Washington County and are ranked #1 in the polls across the State. The Trojans opponent this week in the Jefferson County North Chargers checks in ranked #5 in four polls this week (Kansasprepfootball.com, VarsityKansas, Topeka-Capital Journal and CatchitKansas) as they are 7-0 on the year after beating Doniphan West 22-7 last week.

Hanover improved to 6-0 on the season last week with a 54-8 win over Frankfort, but have a tough task this week with Wakefield on the road.  

The 8-Man Division I rankings continue to see Clifton-Clyde receive attention as the Eagles are 6-1 on the season after a 51-20 win over Centre and now take on Onaga this week to finish District play for themselves this season.
