Mason was the most impressive team in the first week of the high school football season. Their 56-30 win at and Okemos squad vaults them into the number 1 spot in this week's poll.
Lansing Catholic defeated Waverly 28-13, a closer game than many expected. They fall to number 3 this week. I Look for them to improve throughout the season.

DeWitt got a nice road win at Linden, 38-14. Rob Zimmerman keeps the machine rolling in Panther Country every year. They move to number 2.
And finally, Portland's 29-7 victory over Ovid-Elsie got my attention. I like the Red Raiders this season. They have a shot in the stacked CAAC White. I have them at number 5 this week.
Enjoy the games this week!!!! Feel free to agree or disagree with this week's poll.
