Top 5: Stability Among the Elite​
At the very top of the rankings, La Cueva continues to hold firm at No. 1. The Bears were idle last week before hitting a district stride. Centennial (3-0) remains hot on their heels at No. 2 after another strong win, 70-39 over 5A power Artesia, while Cleveland stays at No. 3 with a rebound win over Clovis, 54-0 in week three.
Volcano Vista jumps up one spot to No. 4, swapping places with Rio Rancho after a convincing 28-6 win over Sandia. Rounding out the top five is Las Cruces, who also climbed one spot to No. 5 following a big 34-21 victory over Rio Rancho.
