Ended up in a running back shootout in Week 9 where the RB1 for the Colts and Milton Hershey ended up combining for nearly 600 rushing yards and six touchdowns. |
10. | Wyomissing | 8-0 | 9 | |
You have to remind yourself at times that this team was in a little bit of a retooling mode this season in some key spots. Offense is just as powerful as ever, and getting a couple scores on this defense is very difficult. |
9. | Shippensburg | 9-0 | 8 | |
Probably had its most pedestrian overall effort of the season but was never in any danger against East Pennsboro. There’s something to be said for that. |
8. | Central Dauphin | 5-2 | 6 | |
Ran into sister school CD East, the No. 5-ranked squad, and was simply overpowered up front on both sides of the ball consistently. Stayed in the game, but never had a say in the outcome. |
7. | Manheim Central | 8-1 | NR | |
Welcome the Barons back to the rankings. MC has scored 105 points with back-to-back shutouts in its last eight quarters. |
6. | Exeter Township | 6-3 | 7 | |
Has played a quality non-conference schedule that is showing up down the stretch. The Eagles have all the pieces to make some playoff noise. |
5. | CD East | 7-2 | 5 | |
In a matchup full of emotion against rival Central Dauphin, the Panthers leaned on their identity of physical running and aggressive defense to overpower the Rams. |
4. | Bishop McDevitt | 7-1 | 4 | |
Seven straight games the Crusaders have scored 55 or more points. Part of that is the quality of their schedule, but it’s largely based on a ridiculous wealth of riches on offense. |
3. | Harrisburg | 8-1 | 3 | |
Was pushed to the limit by a State College team that came in riding the struggle bus. Not losing to the Little Lions when playing below average could be helpful moving forward. |
2. | Central York | 8-0 | 2 | |
Nice to see Panthers get a test from Dallastown, and the way Central York responded validates they have some football mettle to go along with all that flash. |
1. | Governor Mifflin | 7-0 | 1 | |
Lost another game to COVID-19 issues for the opposing team. It’s been a tough season for the Mustangs on that front. This is at least the third game out of nine where GM either had to scramble to find an opponent or lost a game. |
