Wilkes Central fell to Ashe County 40-16 last week, the largest margin of any game.
North Wilkes made the biggest leap in the national rankings this week, rising to 7,730 from 8,632. The improvement was largely due to a 36-20 victory over Elkin last week.

On the ground Aaron Skeens chipped in 127 yards. Gunner Cass helped Starmount's passing attack out by catching 3 balls for 14 yards.
The Rams' dynamic duo of Freed and Simpson proved to be unstoppable against West Wilkes, as they were the top passer and receiver in the league this week. Cass helped Starmount's passing attack out by catching 3 balls for 14 yards.
Skeens was a passing and rushing force as Starmount beat the Blackhawks.
The Vikings' LJ Hendren and Josh Bare have formed a dream team this season, leading 2A/1A Conference 6 in both passing and receiving yards. 6-0 quarterback Hendren has thrown for 1,081 yards this season, while Bare has 24 catches for 512 yards.
