Juneau County Area Top 10 Prep Football Power Rankings Week 4
- Ithaca Bulldogs (4-0) – The Bulldogs came from behind to defeat Bangor 14-10 and give them the inside track on winning the Scenic Bluffs Conference.
- Berlin Indians (3-1) – Berlin blanked formerly undefeated Nekoosa to start their South Central Conference season 2-0.
- Wisconsin Dells Chiefs (3-1) ^1 The Chiefs walloped Adams-Friendship 55-7 last week. On paper the Dells should be able to rack up a few wins over the next few weeks.
- Nekoosa Papermakers (3-1) -1 Nekoosa got shutout by a very good Berlin team but still looks to be vastly improved from the last handful of years.
- Royall Panthers (3-1) ^1Royall rolled offensively again with a 46-28 victory over rival Brookwood. Things get tough in the SBC this week with a matchup at Hillsboro.
- Hillsboro Tigers (3-1) ^1 Hillsboro squashed Necedah last week and sets up a big homecoming matchup with Royall this week. This game could have big playoff implications.
- Cashton Eagles (3-1) ^1 Cashton overcame a slow start to pound New Lisbon 49-20. Cashton is a young team that will only get better as the season moves on.
- Bangor Cardinals (2-2) –3 Bangor is probably ranked too low on my power rankings after a tough loss to Ithaca.
- Adams-Friendship Green Devils (2-2) – Adams-Friendship is coming off a big loss to Wisconsin Dells and will try to bounce back on the road vs Waupun.
- Mauston Golden Eagles (1-3) NR Mauston got their first win of the season over Wautoma last week but is still trying to improve especially on the defensive side of the football.

*This is just a “fun” poll of local team around Juneau County or in the Scenic Bluffs or South Central Conferences. This does not mean the #4 ranked team for example would necessarily beat the #9 ranked team as I am not doing this by divisions.
