Although it led to only minor changes in the rankings this week, we're in the midst of playoff madness. We'll tackle that and more in this week's report.
Can't Stop Won't Stop
It was another game, another high-octane performance for Manzano last week (their 3rd in a row). It took its game against Rio Rancho by a confident 40 - 14 score. One major factor in the win was the play of senior Xavier Ivey-saud, who ran for 205 yards and also punched in one touchdown. With five consecutive wins, Manzano boasts the longest winning streak of any team in the rankings.
No Stoppin 'Em
Piedra Vista and Del Norte went up, up, and away last week as they combined for the highest point total (90) among all power ranked teams. Piedra Vista strolled past Del Norte with points to spare, taking the game 55 - 35. Nevertheless, Piedra Vista did not have enough punch to impress the power rankings algorithm and slipped one spot in the rankings.
