Each week, we’re scouring the Mid-Penn, Lancaster-Lebanon, York, and Berks conferences to determine the top 11 teams in the area regardless of classification. Take a look at which teams made the cut after Week 7. Disagree, let us know on Twitter (@4thdownmag) and Facebook.
| 11. | Steel-High | 6-0 | 11 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Had to come up with some fourth-quarter magic to come from behind and knock off Trinity in a game where the Shamrocks pushed the Rollers to the edge. | ||||
| 10. | Cedar Cliff | 5-2 | 10 | |
| Took a clubbing from No. 4 Bishop McDevitt in a game that was over by halftime. Barely hanging on in the rankings. Favorable schedule down the stretch. | ||||
| 9. | Wyomissing | 7-0 | 10 | |
| Beat goes on for the Spartans with their first 50-plus point offensive game of the season. | ||||
| 8. | Shippensburg | 7-0 | NR | |
| Welcome the Greyhounds to the Elite 11. Their defense earned this call by holding six of seven teams to 14 or fewer points. That’s a difference maker. | ||||
| 7. | Exeter Township | 4-3 | 8 | |
| Hey, losing to No. 1 Governor Mifflin by only five touchdowns isn’t all that bad. Two of Exeter’s three losses are to the Nos. 1- and 2-ranked teams. | ||||
| 6. | Central Dauphin | 4-1 | 7 | |
| Needed a 39-yard field goal on the final play to subdue Carlisle and avoid overtime. Thundering Herd provided a full test. | ||||
| 5. | CD East | 5-2 | 5 | |
| Learning-curve loss to No. 3 Harrisburg for the Panthers. Struggled to look like they belonged on the field with the Cougars in the first half, then settled down and stayed in the game. | ||||
| 4. | Bishop McDevitt | 5-1 | 4 | |
| This was supposed to be the one week where the Crusaders at least were given a little resistance. That didn’t happen. This offense is off the charts with 56 more points. | ||||
| 3. | Harrisburg | 6-1 | 3 | |
| Cougars showed their balance and overall strength in the win over CD East. The stage of a big game looked very comfortable for Harrisburg. It was the difference maker. | ||||
| 2. | Central York | 6-0 | 2 | |
| The Panthers faced fellow YAIAA unbeaten Spring Grove, won by 31 points and scored 48. Offense is a difference maker. | ||||
| 1. | Governor Mifflin | 6-0 | 1 | |
| The Mustangs have now scored 305 points this season in those six games. Yes, they average more than 50 a game and win by an average of nearly 40. | ||||
