Top-ranked Tigers haven't allowed a touchdown since season opener Aug. 30.
Defending Division I state champion Pickerington Central dominated Groveport-Madison 43-3 on Friday, notching its 18th victory in 19 outings dating back to the start of the 2019 season. The Tigers remain No. 1 in this week's Ohio high school football rankings.
Groveport-Madison beat Central during the regular season a year ago, but the Tigers have exacted their revenge with a playoff victory last November combined with Friday's 40-point thrashing. Pickerington Central has allowed a mere 12 points in four games this fall.
Archbishop Hoban and St. Edward each improved their standing this week, moving to the Nos. 2 and 3 spots, respectively. Those two teams met Sept. 5 with Archbishop Hoban winning decisively 35-0.
The biggest riser among the Top 10 was Chardon (4-0), who jumped 17 spots following a 35-7 win over Riverside.
