Marquette, MI, October 15, 2026 —
The Upper Peninsula Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association (UPSSA) released its fifth high school football poll, placing the Marquette Sentinels fifth in the 11-player division and the North Central Jets fifth in the 8-player division.
The rankings mark the first appearances for both teams in their respective polls for Upper Michigan. Marquette is listed in the 11-player division, while North Central appears in the 8-player division. Each team holds the No. 5 position in its category.
The poll release identifies the two teams and their rankings but does not provide additional details about the poll’s voting process, the teams’ records, or the results of recent games. The date of the release was not included in the information provided.
The fifth poll covers high school football and separates its rankings by player division. The information available does not include other ranked teams or positions in either division, so the standings beyond the two No. 5 entries cannot be detailed here.
For Marquette and North Central, the listed placements represent their first entries in the respective Upper Michigan polls, according to the UPSSA poll summary. No further details about what led to either team’s inclusion were provided.
