Several teams across the state did not enjoy their first taste of September football this past week.<\/p>\n
Five teams ranked last week in the Trib HSSN state Top 5 lost with three teams falling completely out of the rankings.<\/p>\n
Gone are 2025 Class 6A champ LaSalle College, McKeesport and Steelton-Highspire, while Imhotep Charter and Bishop Gulfoyle Academy lost but maintained their spot among the elite five in their classification.<\/p>\n
Also surviving were Clairton and Belmont Charter School, two Class A teams that had to forfeit their Week 2 contests.<\/p>\n
Despite the loss by Bishop Guilfoyle Academy, there were no changes at No. 1 with Central Catholic in 6A, Pine-Richland in 5A, Monsignor Bonner-Archbishop Prendergast in 4A, Northwestern Lehigh in 3A, Southern Columbia in 2A and the Marauders in A still at No. 1.<\/p>\n
There are three head-to-head clashes in Week 3 involving three teams in Class 6A.<\/p>\n
Class 6A top-ranked Central Catholic will host Class 5A No. 1 Pine-Richland and the No. 4 and No. 5 teams clash when District 3 Bishop McDevitt hosts District 6 State College.<\/p>\n
The other big matchup is in the WPIAL where Class 2A No. 3 Seton LaSalle welcomes Class 3A No. 3 Aliquippa.<\/p>\n
