Sharyland High is back on top.
After McAllen Memorial booted the Rattlers from the top spot in last week’s RGVSports.com Top 10 poll, Sharyland High moved back into first place this week. Sharyland earned three first-place votes for this week’s poll. McAllen Memorial had one, and Port Isabel had two.
The Rattlers (4-1) beat fellow top-10 team Edinburg Vela 27-24 last week and have another big tilt this week against Mission Veterans Veterans Memorial in The Monitor’s Game of the Week.
The Mustangs (4-1), No. 2 in the poll, beat a 1-4 La Joya High team 21-17 and will face McAllen Rowe in Week 6.
Port Isabel (5-0) is fourth in the poll after a 44-21 takedown of Brownsville St. Joseph last week.
McAllen High (3-2) is in third after a 48-7 win over Mission High to open District 30-6A play last week. The Bulldogs are still yet to lose to a Valley team this season, a streak they’ll hope to keep alive when they play host to La Joya this week.
Vela (4-1) is in fifth and resumes distirct pay this week with a home game against Roma.
Mission Vets (3-1) is now sixth, moving up a spot even with a bye week after Weslaco East (4-1) fell to Edinburg North in double overtime last week. The Wildcats are now seventh, followed by Mercedes (3-1) and Harlingen High (2-2).
Los Fresnos (3-1) and Edinburg North (3-2) are tied for 10th. No teams dropped out of this week’s poll, but the Cougars are back in after their big win over Weslaco East.
