Five Miners recorded a sack, including Tonu Finau, Josh Zarcone, Ashton McCafferey, Cian Stack and Kole Cronin. Manogue snapped its three-game losing streak and faces McQueen as a big favorite this week.<h2>2. Reed (4-1)</h2>Previous ranking: 2Last week: Beat McQueen, 49-7This week: vs. Reno, Friday 7 p.m.In short: Reed drubbed McQueen last week with junior running back Bronwyn Rios sneaking into the national rankings (165th, per MaxPreps) in total points (76) with 12 touchdowns.

Shaysan Rivero scored a rushing touchdown and both of tight end Mitchell Bertolino's receptions went for scores. Rivero had a team-high 10 tackles while Oscar Casarez added two tackles for loss. Rex Johnson was credited with three quarterback hurries. That Reed defense faces a tougher test this week against Reno.<h2>3. Spanish Springs (3-3)</h2>Previous ranking: 3Last week: Lost to Bishop Manogue, 28-7This week:at Douglas, Friday 7 p.mIn short: The Cougars' rematch of the regional title game against Bishop Manogue started off slowly.

Against the top team in Northern Nevada, Tyson McNeil was sacked five times and limited to 109 passing yards, his second lowest of his season. It also marked the first time he didn't throw for a touchdown this season with the Miners' pass rush and secondary proving difficult to crack. Spanish Springs did average 4.9 yards per carry, recording 143 yards. The Cougars look to go above .500 with an intriguing game this week at Douglas.<h2>4. Truckee (5-0)</h2>Previous ranking: 4Last week: Beat Fernley, 17-7This week: at Churchill County, Friday 7 p.m.In short: Truckee's offense, which entered the game averaging 41 points per game, tallied just 17 againstFernley, but the Wolverine defense was good enough to extend Truckee's win streak.

Truckee ran for240 yards and 6.2 yards per carry but found the end zone just twice, rushing scores from Estabrook and tight end Jackson Wicks. Truckee's defense was up for the challenge, allowing just 31 passing yards (but 209 on the ground). The Wolverines look to play a cleaner game this week at Churchill County.<h2>5. Douglas (5-1)</h2>Previous ranking: 9Last week: Beat Reno, 20-13This week: vs. Spanish Springs, Friday 7 p.m.In short: Douglas' defense stepped up in its Division I-AA opener, a 20-13 win over reno that gave the Tigers five wins, tied for the most in Northern Nevada. In previous weeks, Douglas allowed teams like North Valleys and Spring Creek to score more than 20 points, so this was its best effort of the year. Reno's quarterback Braylon Wilson averages 237.5 passing yards per game and threw for only 198 yards against the Tigers. Huskies sophomore rusher Jackson Matthews averages nearly 100 yards a game and was limited to just under 50 rushing yards. Douglas levels up this week with a home game against Spanish Springs.<h2>6.

Aiden Goss also got some action on the offensive side of the ball, helping aninjury-plagued Huskies running back room. He rushed for 27 yards on three carries and made eight tackles, including one for loss. The Huskies play an even more potent team this week with a road game at Reed.<h2>7. Galena (3-2)</h2>Previous ranking: 7Last week: Beat Damonte Ranch, 21-14This week: vs. North Valleys, Friday 7 p.m.In short: When Colson Kermode was sidelined in the Galena's prior game, the Grizzlies struggled to find points in a loss to Reno.Kermode returned against Damonte Ranch in the Battle for the Cross Saw, a title the Grizzlies hadn't won since 2015. Galena got off to an early lead with a 14-point lead over their rivals, taking that edge into intermission before Damonte Ranch tied the game at 14. Matthew Rittenhouse's pick-six with 50 seconds remaining proved to be the difference as Galena beat its rival for the first time in nine seasons. Kermode went 8-for-15 for 90 yards, adding 76 rushing yards and the two first-half touchdowns. He also tipped away Damonte Ranch's Hail Mary as time expired that would have won the game.<h2>8. McQueen (3-3)</h2>Previous ranking: 6Last week: Lost to Reed, 49-7This week:vs. Bishop Manogue, Friday 7 p.m.In short:The Lancers faced one of the top teams in the North, falling to Reed, 49-7.
