Week 0 of the high school football season is in the books. Here is the current sportswriters poll and Jerry Palleschi's poll for the week.

Class 11AAA

  1. Roosevelt (8) 1-0 40 (Last Week: 1)
  2. Lincoln 1-0 31 (LW: 2)
  3. O'Gorman (1) 1-0 28 (LW: 3)
  4. Washington 1-0 20 (LW: 5)
  5. Brandon Valley 0-1 6 (LW: 4)

RV: Watertown

Jerry Palleschi's ThoughtsNo change for me following the first week of the season. The five teams I still believe are correct, but I would still put O'Gorman ahead of Lincoln in my poll. Roosevelt started a little slow, but got into form against Aberdeen Central. O'Gorman put points on the board fast and never looked back against Rapid City Central. Lincoln, like Roosevelt, needed a quarter of action before pushing the pedal to the floor against Rapid City Stevens. Washington was impressive in the second half against Brandon Valley solidifying that fourth ranking.

Jerry's Ranking:

  1. Sioux Falls Roosevelt
  2. Sioux Falls O'Gorman
  3. Sioux Falls Lincoln
  4. Sioux Falls Washington
  5. Brandon Valley

Class 11AA

  1. Yankton (9) 1-0 45
  2. Pierre 31 1-0
  3. Brookings 29 0-1
  4. Harrisburg 22 1-0
  5. Mitchell 6 0-1

RV: Douglas

Jerry Palleschi's ThoughtsI can't penalize Brookings after going to 5OT with Yankton in the first week of the season. Record wise, I understand putting Pierre ahead of them but at the end of the year I believe we will get another Yankton/Brookings matchup. The Govs certainly pulled a great win in 2OT against Watertown. Last week Harrisburg defeated Mitchell 30-7, easily propelling them to the fourth ranking.

Jerry Palleschi's Ranking:

  1. Yankton

  3. Pierre
  4. Harrisburg
  5. Mitchell
