You might not recognize the power rankings this week after a busy last week rearranged the teams a whole lot. The action included a dizzyingly high 108-point combined score from St. John's and Christian Brothers.
Can't Touch This
Episcopal's 34 - 17 win over Collegiate last week had a lot to do with the leadership of senior Juanell Walker. Walker rushed for 198 yards and three touchdowns. In fact, our algorithms singled out Walker as one of the top players in the power rankings for the week.
Game of Inches
After a comfortable win over Xaverian in the match before, St. Mary's Ryken might have felt a bit of anxiety in its most recent match. St. Mary's Ryken can thank its lucky stars for its win over Bullis. The final score was a hard-fought 34 - 33. Bullis had come in flaunting an aggressive defense allowing an average of only nine points per game, but that obviously didn't scare off St. Mary's Ryken. The razor-thin margin made this game the most thrilling one of the week.
Next Week's Big Game
If you are itching to watch a first-rate contest, no game is supposed to fit the bill better than the one between Our Lady of Good Counsel (3rd in the power rankings) and Gonzaga (2nd). Both teams have their heads held high after dominating their previous opponents. Gonzaga and Our Lady of Good Counsel both have plenty of landslide victories under their belts (Gonzaga with five and Our Lady of Good Counsel with three), but only one can come away triumphant this week. We'll find out who that is soon.
