Hockinson unanimous No. 1 team in 2A in AP’s first state football rankings

Hockinson, the two-time defending 2A state champion, topped Class 2A in the first Associated Press state media high school football polls released Wednesday.

The Hawks, who opened the season last Friday with a 48-7 win over Toppenish, were an unanimous pick of the six statewide pollsters who cast votes in this first ranking.

Hockinson hosts Archbishop Murphy, ranked fourth in the 2A rankings, on Friday.

In Class 4A, Camas came in at No. 5, followed by Skyview at No. 8. Union received the 11th-most votes.

No other Lower Columbia teams were ranked in the top 10 of their classes, including 3A state semifinalist Mountain View.
