Banging Down the Door
Riverside not only got the result it was looking for last game, but the team outscored its opponent Lincoln in every quarter. Riverside picked up a decisive 'W' against Lincoln, finishing up at 40 - 0. At 40 points, that marked Riverside's largest margin of victory so far this year. The win also thrust it into the power rankings, where the team now holds the 23rd spot.
In this week's power ranking report, we saw one team go soaring up and another team come crashing down -- along with everything in between. We'll dive into that and more in this week's report.
Big Showdown
The battle between Aliquippa (ranked 2nd in the power rankings) and Central Valley (ranked 22nd) turned out to be a somewhat underwhelming competition. Aliquippa took its game against Central Valley by a confident 34 - 3 score. Aliquippa was heavily favored coming into this contest, and the results showcase why.
This Week's Top Game
One of the hottest tickets last week involved the clash between Penn Hills (9th in the power rankings) and Mt. Lebanon (12th). Penn Hills claimed a 42 - 31 victory over Mt. Lebanon. 42 is shaping up to be Penn Hills's lucky number as the team posted the same point total in its win over Hempfield Area the game before.
Upcoming Drama
The big showdown in the power rankings this week is between Central Catholic (6th in the power rankings) and Peters Township (19th). The last time they met, Central Catholic really took it to Norwin, winning 48 - 0. Central Catholic's victory shoved Norwin out of the playoffs, so the team will have a target on its back in this one.
