Top Teams Shine and Others Fall Away

After week 1, the rankings have seen some familiar faces and a few surprises. Leading the charge is Brownsburg, who managed to keep their top spot by beating Archbishop Spalding with a score of 36-23, thanks in no small part to their quarterback, Oscar Frye, who threw for a whopping 252 yards and 2 touchdown passes. Following close behind is Westfield, who showcased their strength by clobbering Homestead with an impressive 35-0 win. Their running back, Deacon King, had a fantastic outing, rushing for 160 yards and scoring 2 touchdowns.

New Palestine also made a resounding statement with a dominant 52-0 victory against Kokomo. The team is clearly aimed at making a deep playoff run this season!

Not All Teams Were as Fortunate…

But it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows for everyone, unfortunately. Several teams that were previously ranked had to say goodbye to their spots in the poll after disappointing performances. Teams like Warren Central, Fishers, Decatur Central, and Ben Davis all dropped out, prompting fans to wonder what went wrong. Warren Central, for example, faced a tough defeat against Center Grove, losing 24-6.

Even Valparaiso, which held the 10th position, was ousted after only managing 9 votes in the aftermath. Other notable dropouts include Martinsville, Greenfield-Central, Danville, West Lafayette, and Garrett. It’s worth mentioning that teams like Martinsville received 12 votes even after their exit, indicating that support is still there—just not enough to keep them in the top rankings.

Who’s Up and Who’s Getting Noticed?

While some teams were stepping off the list, others were determined to make their mark in the rankings. Teams that received votes after dropping out include Warren Central with 17 votes, Zionsville with 5 votes, and Ben Davis with 4 votes. It appears there is still faith in these teams from the fans.

In addition, several teams are starting to gain traction. Guerin Catholic and West Noble stood out with 31 and 25 votes respectively, showing they are ready to claim their spot in the rankings.

New Entrants and Heart-Stopping Moments

Every fan knows that high school football can bring heart-stopping moments worthy of a Hollywood movie. Well, this week did not disappoint! Avon pushed their way into the rankings with a nail-biting 30-28 victory over Decatur Central in overtime. Such thrilling finishes make every game worth watching!

Other thrilling scores included Hamilton Southeastern defeating Carroll by a narrow margin of 14-7 and Franklin Central crushing Perry Meridian with a score of 48-6, demonstrating their commitment to making a name for themselves early this season.

Looking Ahead

As we turn our eyes to next week, the anticipation builds for what’s to come. Will Brownsburg hold onto their top spot? Will any of the dropped teams rise up and reclaim their rankings? Fans are glued to their screens and in the bleachers, ready to cheer their teams on. It promises to be a thrilling ride in Indiana high school football!
