Stevensville rounded out the top five.
Bigfork (3-0) moved up a spot in the Class B rankings to No. 4 after a 42-0 beating of Conrad. The Vikings took the spot of Glasgow, which was dismantled by defending state champion Fairfield on the road last weekend. Manhattan (3-0) remains in first, followed by Malta (3-0) and Red Lodge (3-0). Missoula Loyola Sacred Heart rounds out the top five.
Bozeman (4-0) again was voted as the unanimous No. 1 in Class AA entering its big game at Glacier on Friday. The Hawks are the only undefeated team in the state. Helena Capital remained in the second spot, followed by Helena High and Great Falls C.M. Russell. Butte moved into No. 5.
