Bluffton High School regained the spot it lost last week in the S.C. Prep Football Media Poll, conducted by The (Columbia) State.

The 9-0 Bobcats squeezed by Fort Dorchester, 27-26, on Friday night and moved up to No. 5 in the Class 4-A rankings. The Bobcats' move was facilitated when Wando dropped from fifth to seventh after it's 35-14 home loss to No. 1 Goose Creek.

Hartsville (9-0), Abbeville (9-1) and Christ Church (9-0) remain the top-ranked teams in Class 3-A, Class 2-A and Class 1-A, respectively.
