All five No. 1 teams remained the same this week in Johnston (Class 5A), Clear Creek-Amana (4A), Maquoketa (3A), Rock Valley (2A) and Newell-Fonda (1A). The Mustangs did fall from the ranks of the unbeaten, dropping a close contest to No. 5 (2A) Emmetsburg.

Clear Creek-Amana, No. 2 Sioux City Bishop Heelan and fifth-ranked Carlisle are all undefeated in 4A; No. 9 Mediapolis is perfect in 3A; 10th-ranked Westwood stands undefeated in 2A; and No. 5 Lynnville-Sully remains in 1A.
