One team took the elevator way up and another took it way down in the power rankings this week. That and more in this week's report.

Welcome

Loyola Academy not only got the result it was looking for last game, but the team outscored its opponent De La Salle in every quarter. Everything went Loyola Academy's way against De La Salle as it secured a 49 - 14 win. Loyola Academy had two big standouts, as senior Jack Fallon tossed for two touchdowns and rushed for one more, while senior Jared Lombardi rushed for 65 yards and scored on one reception. The win also thrust Loyola Academy into the power rankings, where the team now holds the 20th spot.

Next Week's Big Game

The big showdown in the power rankings this week is between Prairie Ridge (23rd in the power rankings) and Cary-Grove (13th). Both teams are rolling into the game after last-week wins. Of course, Prairie Ridge and Cary-Grove can't both win again this week, so we'll learn on Friday which team falters and which extends its success.
