South Fremont shakes up 3A media poll with win over Sugar-Salem

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI/KIDK) - There is a new number one team in this week's high school football media poll. South Fremont's win over Sugar-Salem Friday shook of the 3A rankings. The Cougars ended the Diggers 14 game winning streak and their run on top of the rankings.

Kimberly emerged as the new top team in 3A. Sugar-Salem drops to a tie with Homedale for third. South Fremont enters the rankings at number five.

Very little change in the rest of the poll. Highland slips a spot down to number five in the 5A poll. Pocatello jumps up a spot to number 4 in the 4a rankings. All other East Idaho teams remain where they were last week.
