Ten teams from the Cedar Valley and Northeast Iowa are featured in the first high school football rankings of the season released by the Associated Press on Monday (Aug. 31, 2015).

Defending state champion New Fayette Valley is top-ranked in the Class-2A poll, followed by Beckman Catholic of Dyersville third. Aplington-Parkersburg, Center Point-Urbana, New Hampton and La Porte City Union also received consideration to be included among the top-10.

Gladbrook-Reinbeck leads the Class-A survey. The Rebels opened their 2015 season with a 13-6 victory at La Porte City Union Friday. They are ranked one spot ahead of defending champion Logan-Magnolia, which is ranked at No. 2 despite beating Gladbrook-Reinbeck in the 2014 state title game and starting 2015 with a win last week. AGWSR, Denver, East Buchanan and Wapsie Valley all received votes to be ranked in the initial poll of the season.

Cedar Falls is ranked fourth in Class-4A, while Dike-New Hartford is rated fifth in Class-1A. Two other area teams are among those featured in the Class-3A top 10 -- West Delaware at No. 2 and Waverly-Shell Rock at No. 7.

The inaugural eight-player survey of 2015 includes Don Bosco at No. 2, seventh-ranked Central Community and No. 10 Janesville.
