Nearly a dozen high school football teams from the Cedar Valley and northeast Iowa are featured in the seventh Associated Press rankings of the 2019 season, released by the news organization on Monday.

Heading into the next to final week of the regular season, three area teams are considered the best in their class. Waukon leads the Class 2A rankings, while Dike-New Hartford is No. 1 in Class 1A. Don Bosco continues to sit on top of the eight-player poll, the same spot the Dons have been at all season.

The other rated teams from the area are ranked no longer than seventh in their respective classes. Barring an upset during the final two weeks of the regular season, all of them should be considered strong contenders to compete for a state champion when the playoffs begin Nov. 1.

Other ranked teams from the area are: Cedar Falls (No. 3, Class 4A), Independence (No. 4, Class 3A), Waterloo Columbus Catholic (No. 7, Class 2A), North Tama (No. 3, Class A), Grundy Center (No. 4, Class A), MFL-Mar-Mac (No. 5, Class A), Edgewood-Colesburg (No. 6, Class A), and Turkey Valley (No. 3, 8-Player).

In addition to the 11 rated teams, South Winneshiek (Class A), Gladbrook-Reinbeck (8-Player), Janesville (8-Player) adn AGWSR (8-Player) are all receiving votes.
