WEBSTER CITY — Webster City’s 55-0 thumping of Carroll on Friday made statewide Associated Press poll voters stand up and take notice.

After not garnering a single vote following Week 1 of the season, the Lynx (2-0) jumped into the Class 3A Top 10 on Monday. They sit tied with Sergeant Bluff-Luton at No. 8.

WCHS received 21 voting points from the statewide panel of media members. Its Week 3 opponent, Ballard (2-0), is just outside the Top 10.

South Hamilton earned three voting points in the 1A poll, but sits well outside the Top 10. However, the Hawks are sixth in the class, according to the Cedar Rapids Gazette.

South Hamilton will face its first test of the season on Friday when it goes on the road to take on No. 8 (1A) Dike New-Hartford (1-1).

The AP top-ranked teams this week include West Des Moines Dowling (4A), Dallas Center-Grimes (3A), Prairie City-Monroe (2A), OA-BCIG (1A), Grundy Center (A) and Don Bosco (8-man).

Dowling, the winners of seven consecutive large-class state championships, picked up a 22-0 win over West Des Moines Valley on Friday in a game that was Nos. 1 vs. 2. Valley slipped to fifth following the loss.
