The power rankings have been shaken up after a frantic week teeming with triumph and disappointment. We'll tackle that and more in this week's report.
Can't Touch This
Mars got a 42 - 14 win over North Hills last week, and a key reason for the win was senior Garrett Reinke. Reinke earned two touchdowns and 207 yards rushing the ball. In fact, our algorithms singled out Reinke as one of the top players in the power rankings for the week.
This Week's Big Showdown
One of the hottest tickets last week involved the clash between Fairmont Senior (3rd in the MaxPreps state rankings) and Weir (25th). Fairmont Senior blew past Weir 43 - 13. The win took its toll on the QB, however, as he was sacked four times.
No Stoppin 'Em
The Aliquippa offense has been a force to be reckoned with this season, and last week was no different. It had all the answers against Yough, winning 54 - 20. Aliquippa was heavily favored coming into this contest, and the results showcase why. At 74 total points, this was the highest scoring power ranking game of the week.
Next Week's Big Game
The big showdown in the power rankings this week is between Pine-Richland (3rd in the MaxPreps state rankings) and Mt. Lebanon (69th). Pine-Richland is backed by a win while Mt. Lebanon is motivated by a recent defeat. Will Pine-Richland repeat its success, or will Mt. Lebanon bounce back and dish team a loss? Check back after their contest Friday for the full scoop.
