No Margin for Error
The Bethlehem Catholic offense has been a force to be reckoned with this season, and last week was no different. It won a game that couldn't get any closer, slipping by Allentown Central Catholic 38 - 37. Bethlehem Catholic was the clear favorite in this matchup, so the near-loss was an unusual surpise. The razor-thin margin made this game the most thrilling one of the week.
Rocket Boost
South Fayette not only got the result it was looking for last game, but the team outscored its opponent Montour in every quarter. South Fayette took its game against Montour by a confident 49 - 21 score. 49 is shaping up to be South Fayette's lucky number as the team posted the same point total in its win over Highlands the game before. The team's efforts were enough to boost its power ranking by 12, which was the most sizeable gain made by any team in the rankings.
Look Out Below
After a challenging last week, Penn-Trafford now finds itself down five power ranking positions. No one has a better right to be disappointed since that was the biggest drop of the week. It was close but not close enough as it fell 27 - 24 to McKeesport. The outcome was a definite jolt of excitement for Penn-Trafford after its previous game, where the margin was anything but close.
Upcoming Drama
If you are itching to watch a first-rate contest, no game is supposed to fit the bill better than the one between Cumberland Valley (10th in the power rankings) and Harrisburg (4th). The two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games. Harrisburg and Cumberland Valley can't both win again this week, so we'll learn on Saturday which team falters and which extends its success.
