Its hard to call any result a big upset in the first week of a new high school football season.
However, there were some results that led to some shuffling in the Trib HSSN state rankings this week.
Most of the changes occurred in Class 3A, where three teams got bounced from the Top 5 after falling on opening night.
Avonworth, Hickory and Wyomissing exited while Hopewell, Archbishop Wood and Notre Dame-Green Pond claimed a spot in the PIAA rankings after winning in Week 1.
There were changes at the top in half of the classifications as Central Catholic leap frogged LaSalle College for No. 1 in Class 6A, Bishop Guilfoyle Academy did the same thing to Clairton in Class A, and Northwestern Lehigh is the new team at the top in 3A, replacing defending state champion Avonworth.
The other three classes remain the same at the top with Pine-Richland in 5A, Monsignor Bonner-Archbishop Prendergast in 4A and Southern Columbia in 2A still at No. 1.
There are two head-to-head clashes in Week 2, both in the smallest classifications.
In District 6, 2A No. 4 Richland hosts Class A No. 1 Bishop Guilfoyle Academy and District 8 (City League) hosts District 3 in a battle of No. 5 ranked teams as 2A Westinghouse is home to Class A Steelton-Highspire.
