Hockinson, La Center return to top 10 in season’s final Associated Press prep football rankings

Hockinson and La Center both returned to the Top 10 of their respective classifications for the first time since Week 3 of the season in the season’s final Associated Press state media prep football rankings released Wednesday.

Hockinson (6-2) came in at No. 10 in Class 2A after beating Washougal for its sixth win in a row. Ridgefield (9-0) remained at No. 2 in the 2A rankings.

La Center (6-2) won its fourth in a row by beating Castle Rock for the Trico League title. That helped the Wildcats come in at No. 9 in the 1A rankings.

Camas (5-4) moved up two sports to No. 10 in the 4A rankings after capturing the 4A Greater St. Helens League title with a 17-7 win over Union.

Kalama’s 40-0 win over South Umpqua from Oregon was not enough to move the Chinooks (8-0) any higher in the 2B rankings. Kalama remained at No. 2 behind Napavine.
