Scranton Prep and Dunmore made emphatic statements against ranked opponents last week as the Lackawanna Football Conference regular season winds down.

Scranton Prep defeated Wallenpaupack, 35-0. Dunmore overmatched Honesdale, 63-11. The teams are ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the latest Times-Tribune High School Football Poll.

The top-ranked Cavaliers have seven straight wins and has played the second-strongest schedule among Lackawanna Football Conference teams, based on the District 2 power-rating formula. They lost to Loyola Blakefield (5-2) in Week 1. Since then, they have shut out two ranked opponents and scored more than 30 points five times.

No. 2 Dunmore is explosive and physically overpowering, and gained a No. 1 vote this week. The Bucks are averaging 56.1 points per game. Their starters barely see the field in the third quarter. Dunmore outscores opponents, 331-10, in the first half, exceeding every LFC team’s season scoring total.

North Pocono defeated Delaware Valley, 21-7. The No. 3 Trojans’ only loss in the last two seasons is to Scranton Prep, 37-36 in three overtimes.

Abington Heights made a big move in the poll, climbing three spots to No. 4 after beating Valley View, 24-21, on a last-second field goal by Jack Hartshorn. The Comets have played the strongest schedule among LFC teams this season (.744 OWP) and have evened their overall record at 4-4.

Valley View dropped one spot to No. 5. The Cougars play at Scranton Prep in an important LFC Division I matchup Friday.

Honesdale became the latest victim of the Dunmore express. The Hornets fell one place to No. 6 in the poll. Their losses are to North Pocono (7-1) and Dunmore (8-0).

Wallenpaupack is at No. 7 despite its loss to Scranton Prep, with all three defeats coming against ranked opponents. The Buckhorns lost to Honesdale in Week 1. They also lost to Abington Heights and Scranton Prep.

Mid Valley won its second straight game. The Spartans defeated Lakeland, 33-27, to improve to 5-3 overall. They are ranked No. 8 this week.

Lakeland lost its second straight game and fell to No. 9.

Carbondale Area, which has a Division III showdown with Lackawanna Trail this week, remained at No. 10.
