My Oregon High School Football Rankings 4/6/21

This high school football season in the state of Oregon, I had been asked by a relatively new sports website, scoreboardlive.com, to be a contributor to an Oregon high school football poll. I've been a contributor to its Class 6A, Class 5A and Class 4A polls. 

These polls are not sanctioned by the Oregon School Activities Association. There have been several sports websites that have had polls published. Of course, opinions have varied. 

For this coming week, here's my contribution as to how I've ranked these teams.

1) West Linn

2) Newberg

3) Central Catholic

4) Sherwood

5) Sunset

6) Lake Oswego

7) Tualatin

8) West Salem

9) Mountain View

10) Clackamas

Class 5A

1) Wilsonville

2) Thurston

3) Crater

4) West Albany

5) Silverton

6) Dallas

7) Pendleton

8) Redmond

9) Scappoose

10) Canby

Class 4A

1) Mazama

2) Marist

3) Marshfield

4) Gladstone

5) Cascade

6) Hidden Valley

7) Estacada

8) Banks

9) Henley

10) La Grande

RV-Receiving votes.

As you can well imagine, I don't agree on every team's ranking. A few don't belong anywhere near a Top 10 poll as schedules have some playing weak competition. Just my opinion. Nobody else's. I'll look forward to the final polls when it comes out. Should be interesting.
