Final RPI rankings and football playoff pairings announced – Cache Valley Daily

LOGAN – Now that the regular season has concluded for high school football, teams now prepare for the post-season. Saturday morning the Utah High School Activities Association released the final RPI rankings and subsequent playoff pairings for all classifications of high school football in the state.

In 4A, the Sky View Bobcats remain #1 and the lone undefeated team. The Ridgeline Riverhawks drop to #4 after having their game cancelled last week. Region 9 teams in Southern Utah did have games, helping Snow Canyon overtake Ridgeline for #3 by the slimmest of margins (Snow Canyon RPI: .683281; Ridgeline RPI: .682232).

Green Canyon has been creeping up the RPI standings for the last few weeks, and conclude the regular season as the #7 team in 4A. Not far behind are the Bear River Bears, finishing at #10. Because Green Canyon and Bear River finished in the top 10, both have a first round bye. But their final rankings also mean they will face each other in North Logan in the second round on Oct. 30th.

Logan finishes the regular season ranked #14 and a dominating victory over 5A Hillcrest in Hyrum on Wednesday helped the Mountain Crest Mustangs move up to #17. Both the Grizzlies and Mustangs draw Region 9 opponents in the first round. Logan will host #19 Hurricane (2-8) and Mountain Crest will travel to #16 Desert Hills (4-6).

In 5A, Box Elder finishes the season ranked #13 and will host a Region 5 rematch with #20 Woods Cross (2-8). The Bees defeated Woods Cross 20-17 on Oct. 2nd.

And in 2A, the Rich Rebels will also face a rematch of a region foe. They finish the season ranked #12 and will travel to #5 North Summit (6-3). Rich lost to North Summit 38-0 on Sept. 25.

Final Region 11 RPI Standings:
#1 – Sky View (9-0)
#4 – Ridgeline (7-1)
#7 – Green Canyon (5-4)
#10 – Bear River (4-5)
#14 – Logan (3-6)
#17 – Mountain Crest (2-8)
