This week's postseason action didn't throw the rankings into complete disarray, but it did reorder the standings a decent amount. The action last week included a one-point thriller between Fort Hill and Allegany.

This Week's Big Showdown
On paper, the match between St. John's (1st in the power rankings) and Gonzaga (6th) looked as though it might be one of the more compelling ones, but things did not play out that way on the field. St. John's blew past Gonzaga 30 - 7. St. John's was heavily favored coming into this contest, and the results showcase why.
Movin on Up
It was onward and upward for Brooke Point this week as the team hoisted itself up nine places in the power rankings -- the largest rise of the week -- after their most recent game. It came out on top in a nail-biter against North Stafford, sneaking past 22 - 20. Brooke Point and North Stafford were a much more even match than Brooke Point's previous opponent, giving the fans a heck of a game.
No Stoppin 'Em
73. That was the combined point total for Freedom and Hylton when they went head to head last week, and it set the benchmark for all power ranking teams. Hylton scooted by Freedom with a score of 45 - 28. The win boosted Hylton a satisfying seven spots in the power rankings.
