They are defending state champions. They were preseason No. 1 teams.

And now, Ida Grove OABCIG and Don Bosco have stayed on top of the Gazette/KGYM football poll in their respective classes all season long. And they close as unanimous No. 1s.

Last year’s 2A champion, OABCIG is down a class and carries a 20-game win streak into the postseason. Led by University of Iowa commit Cooper DeJean, the Falcons are 7-0 and favored to win the 1A title.

Don Bosco has been a consistent 8-Player power in recent years and has won 18 consecutive games. The Dons are 5-0 this season.

The other top-ranked teams in the final Gazette/KGYM poll of the season are Southeast Polk (Class 4A), Cedar Rapids Xavier (3A), Monroe PCM (2A) and Grundy Center (A).

One of three unbeatens in 4A (Iowa City West and Pleasant Valley are the others), Southeast Polk (6-0) is the unanimous choice atop the 4A rankings. West Des Moines Dowling, Ankeny, Waukee and West each move up a spot after Waukee’s 38-17 victory over Urbandale last week.

State champions in 2017 and 2018, Xavier completed a 7-0 regular season with a win over Benton Community last week. Harlan leapfrogged Dallas Center-Grimes after the Mustangs struggled to defeat Winterset last week, 21-17. Washington is fourth, Davenport Assumption is fifth.

Xavier received four first-place votes, DCG two.

In 2A, PCM maintains a lead over No. 2 Williamsburg — it’s 58-53 in poll points this week. Central Lyon/George-Little Rock is up a spot to third after edging West Lyon, 20-16. Waukon is fourth, West Lyon fifth.

The top five are the same as last week in 1A. OABCIG is followed by Van Meter, Sigourney-Keota, South Hamilton and Underwood.

Grundy Center was a co-No. 1 with Iowa City Regina last week, but a No. 1 vote shifted from Saint Ansgar to Grundy Center this week after the Spartans’ 42-0 win over Belle Plaine, and that allowed Grundy to edge Regina 57-56 in the final poll.

Saint Ansgar is third, followed by Edgewood-Colesburg and MFL MarMac.

Don Bosco is followed in 8-Player by Remsen St. Mary’s, Audubon, Anita CAM and Montezuma.

A six-round playoff series begins this week. Don Bosco is the only top-ranked team in action; the Dons host winless Garwin GMG. The other five No. 1 squads drew first-round byes.
