WPIAL 5A

Karlo Zofko's WPIAL Insider Top 25 All Class Rankings has 13 5A teams in it. They would go like this:

1. Bethel Park
2. Pine-Richland
3. Upper St. Clair
4. Peters Township
5. South Fayette
6. Woodland Hills
7. Penn Hills
8. Franklin Regional
9. North Hills
10. Penn-Trafford
11. Latrobe
12. Moon
13. Gateway

Same 13 as my top 13, just a different order. I probably have Moon too high, I saw the narrow loss to Bethel Park but didn't realize until later they were outgained by 300+ yards...
Rankings are fun- but it's just too early to rank based upon records- some of these teams have barely played each other- this order is gonna change a lot- maybe 5 ways in the next 5 weeks. Two smaller examples- it's possible that North Hills could finish in the top to 5, and possible that South Fayette could finish outside the top ten!

PR vs Penn Hills this week- and Bethel vs USC next week next week might lock in 2 of the top 4. BUT Peters v Bethel is the last game- so shuffling could occur up until the very last game

Congratulations, gentlemen....and if anybody´s been left out, please write in and complain!

Yeah, the team will face Ohio or West Virginia in the coming weeks. Will run the Power-I on offense and a 3-4 defense with a lot of stunts and blitzes. Nobody has to play both ways! For the guys who don´t like each other...tough luck.

Team was selected totally subjectively, the people I like got first consideration, of course! Open to comments and suggestions....tried to take nicknames and numbers into positional consideration. (ie, somebody with a number 78 in their nickname can´t play in the backfield, etc.)

WPIAL 5A

1. Upper St. Clair
2. Bethel Park
3. Pine-Richland
4. Peters Township
5. Moon
6. Franklin Regional
7. South Fayette
8. North Hills
9. Woodland Hills
10. Penn-Trafford
11. Penn Hills
12. Gateway
13.Latrobe
14. Kiski
15. Armstrong
18. Plum
17. Shaler
18. Fox Chapel
19. Baldwin

Very competitive class in the WPIAL. Top 14 teams are solid. Only the bottom 3 are really poor quality. Pretty sure the champ is coming from my top 4, impossible to say who it will be.
nice- very thorough! But- this could change dramatically, 3-4 times in the next week- as of now- all I'm sure about is-
1-USC
2-PR

For now, I put PR ahead of Bethel due to strength of competition so far

And- the "sleepers" to maybe crack into top 5, imo, might be Franklin, Penn Hills, North Hills and Penn Trafford

Best guess- is 3 more weeks will get to most teams having played each other- Oct 18

Lehigh Valley Power Rankings - Week 5

Results from our top ranked teams
Freedom 40 East Stroudsburg South 14
Parkland 45 William Allen 0
Liberty 39 East Stroudsburg North 0
Easton 43 Stroudsburg 13
Nazareth 60 Pleasant Valley 7
Becahi 41 Pocono Mountain East 7
Whitehall 31 Dieruff 20
Northampton 42 Pocono Mountain West 6
Emmaus and ACC play tonight

Lehigh Valley schools largely dispatched of the Monroe county schools, with the Freedom win being the highlight. ESS is a good program, but didn’t have the horses last night. Patriots are 6-0 and close with Becahi, Northampton, Easton, and Liberty.

Northwestern Lehigh 49 North Schuylkill 7
Tamaqua 51 Bangor 0
Notre Dame 49 Northern Lehigh 19
Blue Mountain 63 Palisades 13
Southern Lehigh 56 Jim Thorpe 12
Saucon Valley 62 Catasaqua 14

Notre Dame smacked a good Northern Lehigh team in the result of the night. Northern Lehigh now has losses to NWL and ND, which should have them prepped and battle tested for the 2A playoffs.

PIAA District 1 - Halfway Point

1. North Penn - Running through everyone after struggling in W1.
2. Downingtown West - Not much competition overall, but nice win versus PV. Rustin is tough one.
3. CB South - Similar to DWest with close win over CB West.
4. Neshaminy - Smacked by NP with a close one over Emmaus. Big one tonight vs West.
5. Owen J Roberts - Only competition so far was PV where they didn't fare well.
6. Perkiomen Valley - Sleeper to make some noise.
7. Haverford - GV handled them but won all other games easily. Springfield and Ridley will tell the story.
8. Pennridge - Probable first round runner-up.
9. CB West - Middle of the pack.
10. Ridley - Not sure they can beat a playoff team.
11. Pennsbury - Probable first round runner-up.
12. Downingtown East - Could be a spoiler in playoffs.
13. Upper Darby - Not sure they can beat a playoff team.
14. Norristown - Not sure they can beat a playoff team.
15. Spring-ford - Not sure possible to do less with their roster. QB out now.
16. Plymouth-Whitemarsh - Might be a top 5 team in District 1.
17. Quakertown - Last second win catapult them to winning out?
18. Coatesville - Will make noise in playoffs.
19. Souderton - Jekyll and Hyde, but could win out.
20. Council Rock South - Outside chance of winning out.

PW (might get bored) and Cville (play both Dtowns, avoids Rustin) will climb up the playoff rankings in the coming.
Fletch: Ridley has 2 loses. I'm not sure they can beat Penncrest, GV, and Haverford.
