Fields’ Friday football top 30

There are no real surprises in the upper tier of these rankings. The powers that were supposed to be are the powers that be. However, there are some teams that have been more successful than expected. Madison Central probably leads that group. Coach Kenny Turner’s Indians, led by speedy Ricky Rhodes (shown at right), knocked off Danville in their season opener and are off to a 4-0 start. They figure to get tested by Clark County tonight.
