COLUMBUS – After being ranked 17th in Division V last week, the Versailles football team fell out of this week’s Associated Press state rankings.
Last week Versailles was ranked 17th in the state in the season’s first AP poll. The Tigers were behind Coldwater, Wheelersburg, Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy, Warrensville Heights, Garrettsville Garfield, Milan Edison, Sugarcreek Garaway, Canton Central Catholic, West Salem Northwestern, Swanton, Magnolia Sandy Valley, Richwood North Union, Elyria Catholic, Doylestown Chippewa, Wickliffe and Canfield South Range in the Division V rankings.
However, following Versailles’ one-point loss to Delphos St. John’s the Tigers didn’t receive enough points to be ranked in this week’s state poll.
Versailles is the lone Darke County football team to have been ranked in the AP poll this season.
A number of other schools with local connections are ranked this week. Wayne from the Greater Western Ohio Conference is ranked No. 4 in Division I, Troy from the GWOC is ranked No. 5 in Division II, Trotwood-Madison from the GWOC is ranked No. 8 in Division III, Coldwater from the Midwest Athletic Conference is ranked No. 1 in Division V, Marion Local from the MAC is ranked No. 2 in Division VI, Covington from the Cross County Conference is ranked No. 3 in Division VII, Fort Recovery from the MAC is ranked No. 5 in Division VII, and Delphos St. John’s from the MAC is ranked No. 10 in Division VII.
