Who's up and who's down

The power rankings have been shaken up after a frantic week teeming with triumph and disappointment. We'll dive into that and more in this week's report.

Welcome

The Willmar offense has been a force to be reckoned with this season, and last week was no different. It came out on top in a nail-biter against Moorhead, sneaking past 35 - 32. The outcome was a definite jolt of excitement for Willmar after its previous game, where the margin was anything but close. The win also thrust it into the power rankings, where the team now holds the 19th spot.

This Week's Big Showdown

On paper, the match between Lakeville North (1st in the power rankings) and Wayzata (10th) looked as though it might be one of the more compelling ones, but things did not play out that way on the field. Lakeville North took its game against Wayzata by a confident 42 - 13 score. At 29 points, that marked Lakeville North's largest margin of victory so far this year.

Next Week's Big Game

The big showdown in the power rankings this week is between Edina (18th in the power rankings) and Minnetonka (4th). Both teams are entering with last-week wins under their belts. Only one team will win this week, so we'll find out which team fails to repeat its success.
