(KRQE) - It's back...The original poll that ranks New Mexico's very best teams regardless of class. We don't care about the A's that follow your school's name; just about the A's that our experts give you on your report cards. Who will make the grade in '08?
It's week eight of our poll and Southern school dominance has returned. Southern high schools occupy four of the top five slots.
Las Cruces continues to hold a tight grip onto the poll's top spot, but Eldorado is inching closer after handing Sandia their first loss of the season. Lake Arthur has rejoined the poll in spot number 13.
