Who's up and who's down

There wasn't a ton of movement in the power rankings this week, but there was certainly enough to keep things interesting. We'll tackle that and more in this week's report.

This Week's Big Showdown

One of the hottest tickets last week involved the clash between Carmel (3rd in the power rankings) and Lawrence Central (4th). Carmel came out on top in a nail-biter against Lawrence Central, sneaking past 21 - 19. As a result, Carmel rose three spots in the power rankings.

Big Showdown

It was a battle of top-notch squads when Cathedral (8th in the power rankings) took on Center Grove (10th) last week. Even if it wasn't a dominant performance, Cathedral beat Center Grove 21 - 14. The win boosted Cathedral a satisfying six spots in the power rankings.

No Stoppin 'Em

The match between Homestead and Fort Wayne South Side last week put some strain on the scoreboard; in fact, with a total of 76 final points, it was the highest scoring contest in the power rankings for the week. Homestead took its game against Fort Wayne South Side by a confident 49 - 27 score. Nevertheless, Homestead did not have enough punch to impress the power rankings algorithm and slipped three spots in the rankings.

Welcome

The power rankings welcomes a newcomer to the scene as New Palestine earned the 23rd spot after its strong showing last week. Everything went its way against Delta as it secured a 55 - 7 victory. New Palestine was heavily favored coming into this contest, and the results showcase why.
