For the first time this season, the Princeton Tigers have made an appearance in the Class 1 high school football media poll, although the mention in this week’s rankings is just one vote. Meanwhile, shake-ups occurred at the bottom of the Class 2 poll, repercussions of Lathrop’s 7-2 loss at Lawson on Friday night. A homecoming victory for the Chillicothe Hornets over LeBlond keeps the Hornets steady at #4 in Class 3.
