2023 Pennsylvania High School Football PFN Rankings Week 1
Tagged under: News, Rankings

Well, week zero is in the books! Our group of ranking experts met Sunday night and the report is in: not too many changes. There are a few, but for the most part we didn’t punish those who lost to powerhouse out of state teams (SJP, Cathedral Prep, McDowell, Pine-Richland and Neuman Gorretti). We did reward one team for beating a powerhouse, that team was Central Valley who had a late comeback win. We also rewarded Avonworth with their big win over Grove City. As always, remember, HM = Honorable Mention, for our team that’s basically a five way tie for 11th.
