PFN state rankings surprise

On the heels of a 17-14 loss to unbeaten Whitehall on Friday, previously top-ranked Easton fell completely out of the Pennsylvania Football News top 10 Class AAAA rankings.

The Red Rovers (4-1) are replaced at the top by defending PIAA Class AAAA champion LaSalle College, which blasted a good Roman Catholic side, 42-17, Friday night.

Thanks to Easton's exit, all other teams in the top 10 moved up one stop, including CV. The Eagles, who beat Chambersburg, 42-13, Friday, are now ranked ninth. CV has a 4-1 record. District 3 perennial powers Wilson (third) and Central Dauphin (seventh) also moved up one spot. The Bulldogs slammed Cedar Crest, 43-13, and Central Dauphin trashed rival CD East, 41-0, in Week 5.

Council Rock South (5-0) enters the rankings for the first time this year at No. 10. The Golden Hawks blanked Pennsbury, 24-0, Saturday.
Other classes
In Class AA, Trinity checks back in as a team to watch. The Shamrocks were listed in that category before the season started by fell out following a 35-7 season-opening loss to Lancaster Catholic. Since that game, Trinity hasn't scored fewer than 49 points and out-scored its opponents 203-14 and produced two shutouts. In a loaded District 3-AA bracket, the Shamrocks and their new spread offense might just be a sleeper team.
