For the 7th week in a row Concord remains #1. There are basically 3 groups. Top tier teams (1-5), then the 2nd tier (6-8), and your last tier
(9-10 plus Jimtown, Northridge, St. Joe, and Bremen). NorthWood moves up one spot. Knox re-enters the top 10.

Thank you to all of the local coaches and media who voted each week. This is the last poll of the season.

-Can Plymouth pull off another NLC upset?
-Jimtown is 8-0 all-time against Lakeland. Lakeland has scored a total of 9 points against Jimtown in those 8 games. However, this year’s Lakeland squad will be a tougher test than in past games in this series.
-Bremen is coming off one of their biggest wins in a while. Will there be a letdown against Tippecanoe Valley or can the Lions sustain their momentum?
-Northridge is arguably the best 3-5 team in our area. Warsaw has won 6 straight in this series. Good measuring stick game for the Raiders against a tough and gritty Warsaw team
