NEGAUNEE — The No. 1 team in each poll was a unanimous selections again this week as the second Upper Peninsula Sportswriters and Sportscasters U.P. Football poll of the 2021 season was released on Monday.

Undefeated and defending MHSAA Division 2 8-player state champion North Central is the No. 1 team on the 8-player side. The Jets are also the No. 1-ranked team in the state in the second AP Prep State Football Poll in all of 8-player, which was also released on Monday.

However, this week’s new No. 1 team on the 11-player side of things is Marquette, who defeated last week’s No. 1 team Kingsford 55-34 Friday night at Marquette Senior High School.

The Flivvers remain in the poll, slipping one spot to No. 2 with 16 poll points, one point ahead of Great Northern Conference rival Menominee, who also slipped a spot to No. 3 this week. The Maroons lost to Freedom, Wis., 28-7 Friday night.

Kingsford also received votes in this week’s AP Division 5 poll, as did Sault Ste. Marie in Division 4, Westwood in Division 7 and Bark River-Harris in Division 8.

The 4-0 Forest Park Trojans, who came in at No. 4 in the 8-player poll last week, moved up one spot after a dominating road win at Stephenson on Friday night. The Trojans are ranked No. 9 in the AP 8-player state poll this week, also moving up one spot.

Norway, 3-1, who is playing in their inaugural season in the 8-player ranks, received votes from the voting panel in both the UPSSA poll and the AP State Poll.

The UPSSA’s five-voter panel for the 2021 football season is: Jason Juno, Ironwood Daily Globe; Rob Roos of the Sault Evening News; John Vrancic of the Escanaba Daily Press; Mike Ludlum of WLUC-TV6 and Matt “Sweets” McCarthy of the Iron Mountain Daily News.
