Philadelphia High School Football Rankings

Who's up and who's down

You might not recognize the power rankings this week after a busy last week rearranged the teams a whole lot. A special shoutout goes to Haddonfield's senior Jay Foley, who scored five total touchdowns in the team's most recent match.

Welcome

Say hello to Emmaus: the team broke into the power rankings at the 22nd position after its notable last-week performance. It came out on top in a nail-biter against Easton, sneaking past 30 - 28. The outcome was a definite jolt of excitement for Emmaus after its previous game, where the margin was anything but close.

Movin on Up

Camden was the better team in every quarter against Delsea last week and consequently the better team overall. Camden took its game against Delsea by a confident 45 - 15 score. Camden did have the odds in its favor, but the team did even better than the MaxPreps state rankings indicated. The team's efforts were enough to boost its power ranking by 18, which was the most sizeable gain made by any team in the rankings.

Next Week's Big Game

It should be quite a contest when Peddie (ranked 7th in NJ) and Malvern Prep (2nd in PA) face off this week. This will be the second consecutive road game for Peddie. We'll see if it can take the spring out of Malvern Prep's step after its win or if Malvern Prep will hand Peddie another defeat.
