State football polls after week 5:Falcons on the rise

Got a little behind posting these rankings becuase there hadn't been any changes. But last weekend, defending Class 3 state champions Oak Grove lost to Odessa 21-14 and fell to number 7...so Blair Oaks moves up from 4th to 3rd in Class 3. Our birds are flying pretty high right now. If we could just stop the other team's first offensive play... Here are the rankings.
