Continue ReadingWeek two of our Power Rankings installation is here. The 30 best teams in the state, regardless of classification.
It’s still early in the season, and not much has changed at the top of our polls. Despite two losses this week, Paul VI remains at the top because of their consistent play and close losses to two nationally ranked teams.
Bishop O’Connell is the only change in the top ten, as they vault in after a Benedictine loss to Trinity Episcopal. Williamsburg Christian made the biggest jump from 24 to 17 after a convincing win on the road at Atlantic Shores.
