CV back in rankings; Trinity moves up

The Pennsylvania Football News released its latest state rankings Sunday night and two area teams are now in the top 10 of their respective classes.

Trinity, which entered the Class AA rankings for the first time last week at No. 10, improved to eighth with its 48-12 victory over Bermudian Springs in the District 3-AA semifinals.

Cumberland Valley spent a few weeks unranked following a 28-21 loss to Harrisburg in Week 8 but the Eagles are back thanks to a win over then No. 3 Wilson, 28-14, in the District 3-AAAA quarterfinals.

Neither area teams will play ranked foes this week -- Trinity (11-1) meets Wyomissing (9-3) in the 3-AA final at Hersheypark Stadium on Friday at 7 p.m. while CV (10-2) heads to Landis Field for a rematch with Central Dauphin (10-2) on the same night and time.

Overall, it was a bad week for ranked teams in District 3. Dallastown and Wilson, in Class AAAA, losted to unranked foes Red Lion and CV, respectively. The same fate befell Greencastle-Antrim and Lancaster Catholic in AAA and AA, respectively.

The top-seeded and previously unbeaten Blue Devils lost to Conrad Weiser, 34-20. Lancaster Catholic, also an unbeaten top seed, dropped a 21-14 decision to Wyomissing.

The only District 3 teams, excluding Trinity, that won while ranked were Bishop McDevitt and Holy Name. The Crusaders slammed Hershey, 63-0, in 3-AAA and Blue Jays hammered Steel-High, 42-7, in 3-A.
