Who's up and who's down

There wasn't a ton of movement in the power rankings this week, but there was certainly enough to keep things interesting. The action included a dizzyingly high 135-point combined score from Omaha Westside and Bellevue West.

Can't Touch This

Omaha North got a 28 - 17 win over Millard South last week, and a key reason for the win was senior Milton Sargbah. Sargbah ran for 205 yards and also punched in two touchdowns. In fact, our algorithms singled out Sargbah as one of the top players in the power rankings for the week.

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 Millard West (14th in the power rankings) and Lincoln (10th). The two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games. Lincoln and Millard West both have plenty of landslide victories under their belts (Lincoln with eight and Millard West with six), but only one can come away triumphant this week. We'll find out who that is soon.

Big Showdown

It was a battle of top-notch squads when Kearney (12th in the power rankings) took on Creighton Prep (23rd) last week. Kearney scooted by Creighton Prep with a score of 24 - 7. Kearney saw its record improve to 8-0 and its power rank jump four places as a result.

This Week's Big Showdown

One of the hottest tickets last week involved the clash between Wahoo (9th in the power rankings) and Aquinas (17th). Wahoo took its game against Aquinas by a confident 34 - 13 score. The win boosted Wahoo a satisfying 11 spots in the power rankings.
