It may be hard to believe but we’re officially at the midway point of the regular season. Week 5 is here.
We’re through four weeks of the regular season and the top teams have started to separate themselves from the pack. This week’s rankings reflect that.
The 615 Preps staff has put together a list of the top five large, medium, and small class teams in our coverage area following last week’s action.
Large Class teams include 6A and Division II-AAA. Medium Class teams include 5A, 4A, and Division II-AA. Small Class teams include 3A, 2A, 1A, and Division II-A, and each grouping has roughly 30 teams in it.
