Mid-September high school football has a casino feel to it with a big shuffling of the deck of the top teams in the state.

Only two of the four classes remain unchanged from No. 1 to No. 5 in the weekly Trib HSSN state rankings.

The biggest facelift was in Class 3A where Hopewell, Aliquippa and Archbishop Wood dropped out of the Top 5 for now, allowing Elizabeth Forward, Propel Braddock Hills and Mount Carmel to join the elite fun.

Two of the six No. 1-ranked teams fell to defeat in Week 3, but only one lost its spot at the top of the classification.

Class 5A No. 1 Pine-Richland lost in a WPIAL showdown to 6A top-ranked Central Catholic, yet the Rams remain on top in 5A.

District 12 Monsignor Bonner-Archbishop Prendergast fell from No. 1 to No. 4 in Class 4A after its second loss in three weeks.

It was replaced at No. 1 by undefeated Shamokin.

That was the only change at the top with Central Catholic in 6A, Pine-Richland in 5A, Northwestern Lehigh in 3A, Southern Columbia in 2A and Bishop Guilfoyle Academy all still at No. 1.

There were three head-to-head clashes of ranked teams in Week 3, but there is only one coming up in Week 4.

Small school powers in District 10 are set to collide when Class 2A No. 2 Farrell visits Class A No. 4 Wilmington.

Here are the latest Trib HSSN rankings in each of the six classifications. Teams are listed with overall record, last week’s ranking and district.
