Well n0w, THAT was an interesting meeting with the rankings crew. That Pine-Richland win over PCC had us all steamed up, but in the end we think we got it right. PCC drops a bit, PR comes back in the 5A rankings and Chester makes it’s first appearance this year.
And wow! How bout those Hillers knocking of TJ? Sorry Jags, we had to drop ya. Gotta win those games. Central Valley also drops out after their second loss…McKeesport makes the jump and Valley View finally gets a spot in the rankings.
In 3A, yes, we know Wyo lost but it was to a very good 5A Cocalico team. No punishment there. Clearfield got a good, quality win over BEA to enter the rankings. BEA drops to HM after that loss to Clearfield. United Valley jumps into the top 10 as does a Mercyhurst team that is second in the state in scoring. 1A holds the line but for Cambridge Springs losing to number 8 Lakeview.
