Against Hayti:
Chaffee allows 20 points.
Thayer allows 7.

That's not why I ranked Thayer over Chaffee, just want to point that out.
Congrats to the Chaffee Red Devils. The ranking is well deserved. Keep up the great work Coach Vickery and the boys. Let's take it to East Prarie friday night.

Why is Sikeston not even getting votes in Class 4 even though they're 5-0?

I would assume Preacher that they haven't play the type of schedule those other teams in Class 4 has played. Their schedule will be much tougher the rest of the season. IF they beat Jackson, they will most definitely get votes. Their opponents total W/L is 8-17, with them playing a couple lower class teams.
