The PFN Rankings are compiled by our expert panel every Sunday eve throughout the season.
Well, the team nailed it again. The only real changes came among ranked teams that played each other. Some of those losses made room for a couple new teams. Nazareth bumped Emmaus down a bit with their win, Northampton taks the spot once occupied by Harrisburg who lost to State College. In 5A Bethel Park moves in, Gateway drops out. Look out for HM teams Pine-Richland and Solehi. 4A saw no changes in the top 10. 3A had a lot of movement at the bottom with Penn Cambria dropping, Clearfield jumping up and Tyrone dropping out. 2A…yep, you see correct. Southern Columbia is out of the rankings for the first time that I can remember. Sharpsville drops to HM, Troy, who has a big game this week with Loyalsock moves in and in 1A Redbank drops and Muncy jumps into the top 10.
