This week in the polls

It's no surprise that some teams continue to remain near or top of the high school polls.
For the third consecutive week, the Columbus High volleyball team was No. 1 in the Class AAA coaches poll.
The Lady Blue Devils have continued to compete against and beat teams in bigger classifications, while dominating AAA teams. They are 8-0 against teams in their classification, including wins against Northside and Shaw on Tuesday.
They aren't the only one ranked. Harris County fell one spot to No. 9 this week despite not losing a match. The Lady Tigers are 16-1 following a pair of wins Tuesday.
The Tigers are also ranked in softball, earning the No. 9 spot. Hardaway is the highest ranked Bi-City team as the coaches have them seventh. Those two teams have yet to play, but will on Sept. 25.
The winner of that will likely earn the top spot in Region 2-AAA tournament. Harris County won the tournament last year after losing its opener.
In the football polls, the coaches and the Associated Press don't really agree on the best teams. Brookstone is No. 8 in the AP and No. 6 in the coaches, while Pacelli is No. 4 in the AP and No. 9 in the coaches.
Carver is No. 1 in the AP and No. 2 in the coaches. Shaw isn't ranked in the coaches and No. 8 in the AP.
Does it surprise you that Columbus has a top ranked team in two different sports? I knew both Carver football and Columbus volleyball were quality teams, but I didn't know if they were the best in the state.
I guess only time will tell, because unlike college football a winner will be determined on the field or court. It should be an exciting fall.
