Eagle, Bishop Kelly football still No. 1 in state media poll
Big wins last week allowed both Eagle (5A) and Bishop Kelly (4A) to maintain their top spot in the latest high school football state media poll released Tuesday.
Eagle knocked off perennial powerhouse Highland 35-20 at home behind three fourth-quarter rushing touchdowns from quarterback Devan Bridgewater. And Bishop Kelly blanked Borah 27-0, holding the Lions to 78 yards of offense on its way to a 2-0 start.
Treasure Valley teams saw no movement in either the 5A or 4A polls. Salmon River held on to its No. 1 spot in 1A Division II. But in 3A, Homedale slid from first to second.
