DN-R Football Poll

Posted: October 9, 2012

Wilson Memorial moved up to No. 2 in the News-Record media poll this week with its second straight win over a previously undefeated team. Wilson’s only loss has come against R.E. Lee, the unanimous No. 1 pick. But the Leemen will be tested by Broadway this week in a battle for first place in the Valley District. The No. 6 Gobblers have won four straight games behind 1,000-yard rusher Trevor Bostic.
