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.
