The first week of the postseason produced few upsets around Pennsylvania high school football.<\/p>\n
In fact, all six classifications in the latest state rankings have the same teams in the same order as last week.<\/p>\n
That means Whitehall is still No. 10 in 6A, Southern Lehigh remains No. 4 in 5A, Bethlehem Catholic is No. 8 in 4A and Northwestern Lehigh and Notre Dame-Green Pond remain in the top five in 3A.<\/p>\n
It also means that Pittsburgh Central Catholic (6A), Pine-Richland (5A), West York (4A), Avonworth (3A), Bishop Canevin (2A) and Bishop Guilfoyle (1A) are still ranked No. 1 in their respective classes. Four of those teams are District 7 members, while West York is from District 3 and Bishop Guilfoyle represents District 6.<\/p>\n
