MONROE - Three area football teams are ranked in the top 10 in their respective divisions in the Associated Press' first state football poll of the season.

In the poll that was released Tuesday, Monroe is tied for 10th in the medium school poll, which includes schools with enrollments of 301 to 899 students.

The Cheesemakers are coming off a 31-14 season-opening win over Reedsburg.

Monona Grove, a Badger South Conference rival of the Cheesemakers, is tied for 10th along with Hartland Arrowhead and Hudson in the large school poll.

Two area schools are ranked in the small school division poll led by Black Hawk at No. 4. The Warriors rolled to a 51-14 win over Owen-Withee in the opener.

The Warriors face a big test Friday when they host Potosi-Cassville. Black Hawk coach Cory Milz said Potosi-Cassville is the favorite to win the Six Rivers Conference.

Darlington, which has finished as the WIAA Division 6 state runner-up four straight years, is ranked seventh, even after a season-opening last-second 15-14 loss to Westby.
