The Pennsylvania Football News released its latest state rankings Sunday evening and Trinity (10-1) checked in at No. 10 in Class AA.The Shamrocks, winners of 10 straight, routed Boiling Springs for the second week in a row Friday to move into the District 3 Class AA semifinals opposite upstart Bermudian Springs (8-3) at COBO Field in Lower Allen Twp.
It was due to the Eagles' surprise 37-0 win over second-seeded and previously unbeaten Littlestown that the Shamrocks are in the top 10. Littlestown was ranked No. 8 in the state until it fell apart against YAIAA foe Bermudian in the weekend's most surprising result in District 3.
"I was surprised by the score but not shocked that (Bermudian) won the game, I really wasn't," Trinity coach Bill Ragni said Sunday afternoon. "I'm glad we get another home game because I thought we'd be going to Littlestown."
Trinity is hoping for a rematch with defending 3-AA and PIAA champion Lancaster Catholic, the top seed that PFN has ranked fourth in the state. The Crusaders (11-0) slammed Trinity, 35-7, in the first week of the season.
Lancaster Catholic, which hosts Wyomissing (8-3) on Friday, is gunning for its third 3-AA title in a row.
Trinity snapped a three-game postseason losing streak Friday night and is looking to play in the district final for only the third time in the program's history.
