Newton Rises to No. 1 in Latest Associated Press Class 2A Poll

The Newton Eagles, who began the season at No. 1, returned to the spot in the latest Associated Press Class 2A poll, which was released Monday.

Newton (6-0) jumped to No. 1 after its 43-24 win over Winnie East Chambers and previous-No. 1 Cameron Yoe's loss last week. Tatum (6-0) moved up one spot to No. 4 following its impressive 42-21 win over previously-unbeaten White Oak. Hughes Springs (6-0), which edged past Paul Pewitt 14-13 last week, remained at No. 10.

Corrigan-Camden, Garrison, Daingerfield, Malakoff, Waskom and New Boston all received votes in the 2A poll.

Whitehouse (6-0), 63-7 winners over Lindale, held on to the No. 3 spot in the Class 4A rankings.

In the 3A poll, Gilmer (7-0) remained in the top spot after a dominating 64-7 victory over Henderson last Saturday. Kilgore (5-0), which was off last week, remained at No. 5. Carthage (6-1) dropped one spot to No. 7 after its 55-6 rout of Huntington.

Tenaha (5-1) is still ranked No. 3 in the 1A poll after a 66-0 shutout of Sabine Pass in its District 11-A Division I opener. West Sabine (5-0), which overwhelmed Shelbyville 52-20 last week, remained at No. 8.

Longview (5-1), which rolled to a 42-10 win over Rockwall-Heath last week, received one vote in the Class 5A poll.
