ETSN.fm Week 8 2A Poll: Hughes Springs, Daingerfield Move Up

Newton, New Boston, and Troup kept their strangleholds on the top three spots, but the fourth and fifth spots saw new face in the ETSN.fm Week 8 2A Top 10.

No. 1 Newton (7-0) destroyed Kountze 64-10, while No. 2 New Boston (7-0) was off. Third-ranked Troup (7-0) came back to beat Tatum 14-10 on the road.

Tatum's loss dropped the 5-2 Eagles from fourth to sixth. That pushed Hughes Springs (7-0) from fifth to fourth following the Mustangs' 61-0 rout of Linden-Kildare, and nudged Daingerfield (5-3) from sixth to fifth following the Tigers' 51-7 blowout of Pattonville Prairiland.

The final four spots remained the same. No. 7 Jefferson (6-1) thumped Sabine 50-20, while No. 8 Mount Vernon (7-0) hammered Queen City 42-7 to set up a District 8-2A Division I showdown at Daingerfield this Friday. No. 9 Arp (5-2) crushed Union Grove 52-21, and tenth-ranked White Oak (5-2) shut out Harmony 34-0.
