Prep football polls: Richland still No. 1; Chiawana breaks through; Kamiakin tumbles
The unbeaten Richland Bombers remain the No. 1 Class 4A football team in The Associated Press state poll and Seattle Times power rankings.
One of their Mid-Columbia Conference rivals has broken into the AP poll this week.
The Chiawana Riverhawks (3-0 overall), who toppled the Kamiakin Braves 35-13 last week after Andrew Vargas rushed for 417 yards and four touchdowns, are No. 9 in the 4A poll.
The Braves (2-1), meanwhile, fell from second to sixth in the AP’s 3A poll and from third to seventh in the Times rankings.
The rest of the ranked Mid-Columbia teams stood pat in the AP polls. Prosser stayed at No. 3 in the 2A rankings, fellow 3-0 teams Royal and Connell remained 1-2 in the 1A poll, while Touchet (1-1) held steady at No. 5 among 1B teams.
Prosser, however, dropped from No. 1 to No. 3 in the Times’ 2A rankings after new No. 1 Archbishop Murphy beat King’s 38-0 and No. 2 Tumwater shocked 3A Bellevue 15-13. The Mustangs visit Ellensburg (2-1) on Friday night.
