Lackawanna Football Conference Division I matchups produced intense games last week, but did little to shake up the weekly rankings of top teams.<\/p>\n
Top-ranked North Pocono defeated Valley View, 27-14, and Scranton Prep beat Delaware Valley, 14-7, in matchups between ranked teams. The outcomes produced a minor shift in The Times-Tribune High School Football Poll.<\/p>\n
As a result, Scranton Prep and Valley View flipped spots in this week\u2019s poll with the Cavaliers moving from No. 4 to No. 3.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, North Pocono continues to hold a strong grip on the top spot, a position it has held since the 2025 preseason poll. The Trojans won their 14th straight regular-season game last week and are again a unanimous No. 1 as they get set to host No. 10 Abington Heights (2-2) on Friday. Last week, Abington Heights defeated West Scranton, 29-13. It will be the third straight week that North Pocono faces a ranked opponent.<\/p>\n
Scranton Prep moved to 3-1 overall, starting its LFC Division I season with a win at Delaware Valley. They host West Scranton (2-2) on Friday at Dunmore Veterans Memorial Stadium.<\/p>\n
Valley View (2-2) has lost to Northwestern Lehigh (4-0) and North Pocono (4-0) by an average of 12.5 points. Northwestern Lehigh beat its other three opponents by an average of 53.0 points. North Pocono\u2019s other wins have come by an average of 29.0 points.<\/p>\n
Lakeland remains at No. 5 after beating Susquehanna to improve to 4-0. The Chiefs will host rival Carbondale Area (2-2) on Friday.<\/p>\n
Delaware Valley remains at No. 6 despite its 1-3 record. Its losses are against teams with a combined record of 9-3 and by an average of 4.0 points. The Warriors have another challenge at No. 9 Wallenpaupack (3-1) on Friday. Wallenpaupack has won three straight games and is averaging 47.0 points in the victories.<\/p>\n
Riverside (4-0) defeated Lackawanna Trail, 27-3, last week and stays at No. 7. The Vikings play at Old Forge (1-3) in the Triboro Rivalry game Friday at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n
Also holding its position in the poll is Honesdale at No. 8. The Hornets (3-1) had another high-scoring game in a 51-20 win over Carbondale Area. The Hornets are averaging 42.3 points in their three wins and play at Crestwood (1-3) on Friday.<\/p>\n
