Onalaska, West Salem move up in rankings again, Aquinas remains No. 2

Two weeks to go in Wisconsin’s high school football regular season.

Heading into this second-last week, WKTY will feature Logan at Holmen beginning at 6:50 p.m. Friday — two teams that are 3-4 in the Mississippi Valley Conference and need to win out to guarantee a playoff spot.

Watch the game online here or through the Around River City channel on Roku or Apple TV, thanks to Firefighters Credit Union.

Meanwhile, the latest AP poll came out Tuesday and undefeated Onalaska moved up again.

Three weeks ago, the Hilltoppers (7-0) cracked the Top 10 and have continued to creep up ever since, now sitting at No. 5 in the Large Division.

Onalaska beat Sparta (1-5) 42-14 last week.

Meanwhile, in the Medium Division, West Salem is doing the same, now up to No. 8 in the polls. The Panthers (6-1) beat Viroqua 52-14 on Friday. Their only loss this year came 14-13 to Onalaska in Week 1.

West Salem plays Black River Falls (1-6) next week before setting up a matchup that could determine the Coulee Conference title against Aquinas (7-0) in the regular-season finale.

The Blugolds remain No. 2 in the Small Division with one first-place vote. St. Mary’s Springs (7-0) is the top-ranked team.

Moving up a spot in division is Cashton (7-0) going from eighth to No. 7.

Here is The Associated Press high school football poll. The poll includes first-place votes in parentheses, season record, total points and last week’s ranking, as voted upon by a statewide panel of sports writers. Teams are arranged in three divisions of equal size based on current enrollments
