Upcoming Drama
The big showdown in the power rankings this week is between McDonogh 35 (16th in the power rankings) and Edna Karr (4th). Both teams are coming in hot off of wins in their previous games. Of course, McDonogh 35 and Edna Karr can't both win again this week, so we'll learn on Friday which team falters and which extends its success.
This Week's Big Showdown
One of the hottest tickets last week involved the clash between Easton (5th in the state) and John Curtis Christian (1st). Easton was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap as it fell 27 - 21 to John Curtis Christian. Easton lost a lot of ground in this match: the team forfeited 54 spots in the national rankings.
Big Showdown
The battle between De La Salle (ranked 2nd in the power rankings) and Riverside Academy (ranked 13th) turned out to be a somewhat underwhelming competition. De La Salle took its contest against Riverside Academy by a conclusive 42 - 21 score. The win boosted De La Salle a satisfying 96 spots in the national rankings.
No Stoppin 'Em
The match between Greene County and Poplarville last week put some strain on the scoreboard; in fact, with a total of 90 final points, it was the highest scoring contest in the power rankings for the week. Poplarville scooted by Greene County with a score of 54 - 36. Nevertheless, Poplarville did not have enough punch to impress the national rankings algorithm and slipped 48 spots in the rankings.
