Players from Fort Cherry head to midfield for the coin toss before a game against Monessen on Sept. 19, 2025, at Fort Cherry.<\/p>\n

The top football teams across Pennsylvania had a strong kick to finish the 2025 regular season.<\/p>\n

The 30 teams ranked in the Trib HSSN state Top 5 last week dominated Week 9 top the tune of a combined 27-3 record.<\/p>\n

One loss came in a head-to-head battle in District 12 with Class 5A Roman Catholic defeating 4A Monsignor Bonner-Archbishop Prendergast. However, despite a third straight loss to District 12 powers LaSalle College and St. Joe\u2019s Prep in 6A and Roman Catholic in 5A, the Friars remain ranked in the Top 5 at No. 5 in Class 4A.<\/p>\n

There was one change in Class 2A as undefeated Bishop McCort knocked out fellow District 6 foe Richland from the ranking even though the Rams defeated Huntingdon in Week 9. The Crimson Crushers rolled past Class A ranked Bishop Guilfoyle Academy last week and handed Richland their only loss earlier this season.<\/p>\n

In a District 4 showdown between state top-ranked teams last week, Class 3A No. 1 Northwestern Lehigh defeated Class 4A top-ranked Southern Lehigh, knocking the Spartans form the top spot in 4A, which has been taken over by undefeated Susquehanna Township..<\/p>\n

The other five classifications remained unchanged at the top with LaSalle College in 6A, Pine-Richland in 5A, Northwestern Lehigh in 3A, Troy in 2A and Fort Cherry in A.<\/p>\n

The district playoffs begin this weekend. Some of the state Top 5 has earned byes while others get a taste of postseason football.<\/p>\n

In District 12, the Philadelphia Catholic League championship games are set for this weekend with four ranked teams participating and the big one taking place Saturday when No. 1 LaSalle College goes up against No. 4 St. Joe\u2019s Prep in Class 6A.<\/p>\n

The Explorers beat the defending state champion Hawks earlier this season, but last year LaSalle College won the regular season game and St. Joe\u2019s Prep claimed the PCL title.<\/p>\n
