McDonald County added an exclamation point to the finest football season in school history by being ranked 10th in the final Class 4 state poll.
The rankings were compiled by a 10-member panel of Missouri sportswriters and broadcasters. The Mustangs, who finished 10-2 and advanced to the District 6 championship game, had never been ranked in a state poll before this season.
