Dodge City jumps back into the rankings after overcoming a 21-point deficit against Iowa Central to improve to 3-2 overall and be ranked number 14 this week ahead of fellow KJCCC member and number 15-ranked Butler who dropped to 2-2 following a 21-14 defeat to number three Snow College. Receiving votes for a second-straight week is Coffeyville despite dropping a 42-20 road decision to number two Iowa Western last week.
