Capital (2-1) at No. 1 Rocky Mountain (3-0), 7 p.m. Friday

The Grizzlies took over the top spot in the High School on SI Idaho top 15 rankings this week. Their first game as No. 1 is against the Golden Eagles in their 6A Southern Idaho Conference opener, with Rocky Mountain having won their last seven meetings — including 56-14 last year.

No. 5 Skyline (3-0) at No. 3 Hillcrest (3-0), 7 p.m. Friday

The two Idaho Falls powers battle for 5A High Country Conference bragging rights after meeting in last year’s state final, won by Hillcrest 31-8 for the Knights’ first title since 2018.

Lakeland (4-0) at No. 13 Post Falls (2-1), 7 p.m. Friday

The Hawks could enter the Top 15 this week by knocking off their North Idaho rivals for the first time since 2022 and only the second time since 2012.
