Final DI North Power Rankings

If there was a person who didn’t think Reed was the best team in Northern Nevada, they’re not saying a whole lot now.

The Raiders made it look far too easy on Friday night, breezing to a fifth-straight regional title with a convincing 56-28 win over Carson in the DI North title game at Damonte Ranch.

Carson, which is widely believed to be the second-best team in the area, finished the season 10-2, with both losses coming to Reed by a combined 45 points.

So yeah, Reed is good at football.

Here are the final DI North Power Rankings of the season, listing all 11 squads.

1. Reed Raiders (13-0)

What a season for the Blue and Gold.

Now, the Raiders get Gorman in the state semifinals. The Gaels (only) won their regional title game 28-10 last week over Arbor View, so, you know, if you’re looking for positives.

Next game: Saturday vs. Bishop Gorman (state semifinals)

Last week: 1

2. Carson Senators (10-2)

If it wasn’t for Reed, Carson would be the team celebrating a string of regional titles. The 2015 squad that reached 10 wins is just the third in program history to accomplish that feat.

Last week: 2

3. Reno Huskies (9-3)

Reno had three losses this season. One to Reed and two to Carson. Best of the rest.

Last week: 3

4. Galena Grizzlies (7-4)

After winning just one game a season ago, the Grizzlies celebrated seven victories this fall, one of which came in the postseason.

Last week: 4

5. McQueen Lancers (5-5)

The Lancers started the season 5-2 but with a back-loaded schedule, they struggled down the stretch.

Last week: 5

6. Damonte Ranch (4-7)

The Mustangs had talent everywhere, but never pieced it together.

7. Spanish Springs (3-7)

The Cougars actually had a worse record than last season when they missed the postseason but qualified this year. They won’t complain.

8. North Valleys (2-7)

North Valleys missed out on the postseason but did have a win over a playoff team, besting Douglas 35-27 in the season opener

9. Douglas (1-9)

Bryce James was a legit dual-treat weapon behind center but defense was optional far too much this season.

10. Bishop Manogue (1-8)

The Miners scored 94 points this season. That’s not very many.

11. Hug (1-8)

The Hawks also scored 94 points this season. Fourteen of which came in a 21-14 loss to the Miners in Week 2.
