The Top 7 of Class 1A is starting to solidify and take shape at this point in the season. Bloomfield remains #1 because all they did was lose by one point to Class 2A #2 Linton-Stockton. There is no reason for them to move down because of that.
Liberty Christian reenters the Top 10 for the first time since the first couple weeks of the season. Talented group that seems to be hitting their stride recently.
We will find out how good Blue River might be this coming weekend when they make a trip to Northeastern on Saturday.

Every week we have to talk about how loaded Class 2A is. So much talent and so many really successful teams. Those teams in the Top 7 just keep on winning.
South Spencer and Tipton break back into the Top 10 after wins last week.
Taylor saw their undefeated season come to a close, but fall just two spots because the loss came to a solid 3A team in Western.

10. Lake Station
11-1
#10
Class 3A Top 10 remains completely intact. Beech Grove was the only team that lost and I refuse turn move down any team that loses to Ben Davis.
Mishawka Marian, NorthWood, and North Daviess are on a tier of their own, but Norwell and South Bend Washington continue to be really impressive. SB Washington knocked off Valparaiso during the week.
Scottsburg is starting to stack up wins once against including taking down New Albany. Could be a team that starts to move up.

At this point there isn’t enough you can say about how dominant Ben Davis is this season.
Kokomo is back in the Top 10 after dominating previously undefeated Harrison (West Lafayette).
Some really impressive resumes being built by Hammond Central, Center Grove, and New Palestine.
