Central Catholic\u2019s Roman Thompson strides into the end zone against North Allegheny during the WPIAL Class 6A championship game Saturday.<\/p>\n

There was a line of demarcation among the elite high school football teams with the top teams in the three highest classifications surviving for the most part into the state elite eight.<\/p>\n

However, teams in Class A, 2A and 3A weren\u2019t as fortunate, suffering season-ending losses.<\/p>\n

Of the 15 teams in the three highest classes, only two teams lost and dropped out of the Top 5 for good.<\/p>\n

The three lower classes, though, were a combined blah 8-7.<\/p>\n

Also last week, another 2024 state champion was bounced when Troy fell to Southern Columbia in the Class 2A District 4 finals.<\/p>\n

That leaves Bishop McDevitt in 5A, Northwestern Lehigh in 3A and Bishop Guilfoyle Academy in A still alive in search of a repeat performance.<\/p>\n

Troy was one of two top-ranked teams to lose a week ago, both in the two lowest classifications. Fort Cherry was stunned by Laurel in the WPIAL Class A semifinals.<\/p>\n

They were replaced at No. 1 by Southern Columbia in Class 2A and Port Allegany in Class A.<\/p>\n

The four highest classes remain the same at the top with LaSalle College in 6A, Pine-Richland in 5A, Susquehanna Township in 4A and Northwestern Lehigh in 3A still at No. 1.<\/p>\n

There will be more changes this week with seven head-to-head showdowns between state-ranked teams, including the top four teams in Class 4A squaring off.<\/p>\n
