Undefeated Gilmer Moves Up To No. 3 In Latest Associated Press Class 4A Poll

The Gilmer Buckeyes, fresh off a 61-9 rout of Daingerfield that improved them to 4-0 on the season, moved up to two spots to No. 3 in this week's Associated Press Class 4A poll.

Gilmer takes on defending state champion Carthage this Saturday night at Longview's Lobo Stadium in the final non-district game for both teams.

Four other East Texas schools received votes in the 4A poll -- Van (4-0), Gladewater (3-1), Atlanta (4-0) and Tatum (2-1).

In the 5A poll, Lufkin (2-1) moved up one spot to No. 2. The Panthers were off last week, but begin District 16-5A play this Friday night at arch-rival Nacogdoches. John Tyler (2-1), which was also off last week and begins 16-5A action at Whitehouse this week, remained at No. 7.

Whitehouse (3-0) and Longview (1-2) received votes in the 5A poll.

Three area teams remained ranked in the Class 3A top 10. Corrigan-Camden (4-0) is still No. 5 after a 74-40 rout of Kountze, Malakoff (4-0) moved up one spot to No. 8 after a 57-22 defeat of Edgewood, while Waskom (2-1) dropped a spot to No. 9 after enjoying its bye week.

Corrigan-Camden is off this week, Malakoff hosts Scurry-Rosser, and Waskom entertains rival Elysian Fields to begin District 8-3A Division II play.

Arp (2-1) and White Oak (3-1) received votes in the 3A poll.

Tenaha (3-0) held firm at No. 3 in the 2A rankings after an impressive 26-15 road win at White Oak. The Tigers close out non-district play this Friday night at home against Alto (3-0), which received votes in the 2A poll.
