The Calgary Stampeders are pleased for a third season to present the Calgary Senior High School football rankings.
 
In an effort to help promote local high-school football, the Stamps have for the past two seasons asked three local football experts to rank the field and the Red and White will continue the tradition in 2010. The rankings will be released each Wednesday.
 
The panel consists of long-time Calgarian Tony Spoletini, who is very familiar with the local football scene. In addition, Stamps beat writers Al Cameron and Ian Busby of the Calgary Herald and Calgary Sun, respectively, will contribute to the weekly rankings.
