High school football polls released: China Spring, La Vega ranked in top 5

By WacoTrib.com staff | Sunday, August 24, 2008, 08:46 AM

The Associated Press released its preseason high school football polls this morning, and Central Texas was well-represented among the state’s elite.

China Spring (14-2) was picked fifth in the state 3A poll while La Vega (13-1), whom the Cougars upset in the regional final en route to the championship game, was slotted at No. 3 with one first-place vote. Both of last year’s defending title holders, Liberty Hill and Celina, sit 1-2 in the 3A rankings.

In 2A, Salado, McGregor and Teague all received votes, but didn’t make the top 10. State semifinalist Cisco was picked No. 1 in that classification, by the widest margin in all classes.

Both Mart (10-1, No. 6), which dropped to 1A this year, and Itasca (9-2, No. 9) made the 1A top 10. Chilton came in at No. 11, while state finalist Bremond picked up a couple of votes as well.

No local 5A or 4A teams made the poll. Euless Trinity, last year’s 5A Div. I champion, is the favorite among the big boys, while Austin Lake Travis edged Wichita Falls Rider by a single point in 4A.

State power Southlake Carroll was No. 4 among 5A schools.

And remember: If you didn’t like any of the rankings, you can blame these guys (except, of course, for our own Chad Conine).
