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 5. Disagree, let us know on Twitter (@4thdownmag) and Facebook.
| 11. | Wyomissing | 5-0 | 11 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Has posted two straight 40-point victories and wins by an average of four scores. Cruising along. Next up is Southern Columbia. The cruising will halt, I believe. | ||||
| 10. | Steel-High | 4-0 | 9 | |
| Lost the game to Upper Dauphin this week to COVID-19 and couldn’t find a contest to fill the void. | ||||
| 9. | Cedar Cliff | 4-1 | 10 | |
| Colts RB Jontae Morris has more than 400 rushing yards and seven touchdowns in his last two outings. | ||||
| 8. | Exeter Township | 3-2 | 8 | |
| Rebounded nicely from a loss to No. 7 Hempfield by blanking West York. Still has a brutal schedule ahead, but this team has earned its stripes. | ||||
| 7. | Hempfield | 3-2 | 7 | |
| Solid win by a touchdown over a 2-3 Warwick side that is much better than its record. Couple of breather games ahead on the heels of four straight legitimate tests. | ||||
| 6. | Manheim Central | 5-0 | 5 | |
| Barons survived a turnover laced battle with Wilson that featured seven giveaways including six interceptions - three for each team. Another test on deck with Warick paying a visit. | ||||
| 5. | CD East | 4-1 | 6 | |
| Panthers made a statement by beating State College in every phase of the game to close out the Little Lions. CD East is getting better, too. | ||||
| 4. | Bishop McDevitt | 3-1 | 4 | |
| Not getting much competition, but that is part of the equation the Crusaders can’t control. Has outscored last three opponents 193-14 including 63-0 against Mifflin County. | ||||
| 3. | Harrisburg | 4-1 | 3 | |
| Coming off the first loss of the season, Cougars responded well with a win over a Carlisle team that provided a good test. | ||||
| 2. | Central York | 4-0 | 2 | |
| Came off a bye week thanks to COVID-19 and responded by going out and scoring a season-high 68 points against Dover. | ||||
| 1. | Governor Mifflin | 5-0 | 1 | |
| Mustangs have scored 42 or more points in each of its five contests to date including second straight with 49. Offense is a machine that makes every opponent eventually chase them. And it’s an uphill climb. | ||||
