You might not recognize the power rankings this week after a busy last week rearranged the teams a whole lot. There's a new number one at the head of the rankings as well as a new caboose.

Welcome

Ocean Lakes was heavily favored to win coming into its game last week, and the results showcase why. Everything went its way against Bayside as it secured a 63 - 14 victory.

Can't Touch This

Massaponax's 42 - 7 win over Brooke Point last week had a lot to do with the leadership of junior Joshua Hale. Hale rushed for 141 yards and three touchdowns. In fact, our algorithms singled out Hale as one of the top players in the power rankings for the week.

This Week's Big Showdown

The showdown between Glass (14th in the MaxPreps state rankings) and Jefferson Forest (31st) shaped up to be more of a takedown. Glass breezed past Jefferson Forest with a final score of 63 - 34. The win boosted Glass a satisfying 13 spots in the power rankings.

Next Week's Big Game
