7. Garden Plain (2-1) [5]
8. Nemaha Central (1-2) [6]
9. Humboldt (3-0) [NR]
10. Eureka (3-0) [NR]
Notes: The top-4 has solidified after each one has survived at least one tough test this season. Rossville beat Rock Creek, 58-57, in Week 2. Hoisington held off Halstead, 32-22, in a game that was much closer than the final score on Friday. Silver Lake defeated Riley County on a last-second two-point conversion in Week 3. Norton beat Smith Center by two in Week 1. On Friday, Norton led Russell, 28-0, entering the fourth quarter. Russell recovered two onside kicks and forced OT. Nemaha Central lost to Sabetha, 29-22, in Week 3. Garden Plain, Republic County and Pittsburg Colgan all took defeats. Eureka, Humboldt and Maur Hill are all 3-0, but generally have played softer competition. Douglass and Syracuse are both 3-0 for the first time in at least 21 years. Douglass gets Garden Plain at home this week. Hutchinson Trinity took a big jump and has a quality Week 1 victory against Inman (2-1).
After its wild 58-57 win versus Rock Creek in Week 2, Rossville led 32-0 after the first quarter and easily defeated St. Marys, 67-12. Junior Torrey Horak completed four of five passes for 86 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. Horak delivered eight carries for 130 yards and three TDs.

Next: vs. Oskaloosa (0-3)
Hoisington showcased its highly impressive depth in an entertaining 32-22 home victory versus Central Kansas League foe Halstead. The CKL teams rarely play each other. It marked the first regular season game since ’09, and Hoisington’s first victory since ’08. The seniors had not played each other since a Halstead win in seventh grade. The teams combined for one completion, and Hoisington outrushed Halstead, 388-338. Joshua Ball rushed 14 times for 131 yards, while Cade Mason delivered five carries for 95 yards, and Holt Hanzlick finished with 13 carries for 89 yards. All three players had at least one rushing touchdown. Hoisington never trailed, though led by four in the fourth quarter and made a key defensive stop when Halstead went inside the Cardinals’ red zone.
Next: vs. Phillipsburg (1-2)
Norton moved into the rankings for the first time this year after a 3-0 start. Norton beat Smith Center, 16-14, in the first week, then won at Russell, 34-28, in double overtime on Friday in a Mid-Continent League game. Russell is in the MCL for the first time. The game had a wild finish. Norton led 28-0 entering the fourth quarter. Then, Russell recovered two fourth-quarter onside kicks and threw a 33-yard touchdown pass with 53 seconds left to tie the game. Russell running back Tyler Moresco finished with 34 carries for 217 yards. Jonah Ruder rushed for 148 yards and passed for 122 for Norton.
Next: vs. Minneapolis (1-2)
Hutchinson Trinity scored in each quarter in shutting out Belle Plaine, 35-0. Quarterback Lucas Hammeke rushed for three touchdowns and intercepted a pair of passes on defesnse. Hammeke, who missed most of the 2019 season due to an injury, returned one of his interceptions for a touchdown.
