Week 6 is here meaning we’re officially on the homestretch of the regular season. It also means we have a good idea on who the best teams in our coverage area are.
The fifth week of the season was a weird one. Unbeaten streaks came to an end, multi-year winning streaks ended and a few massive upsets nearly happened.
While many of our top teams took care of business, that wasn’t the case for all of them resulting in some changes to this week’s rankings.
The 615 Preps staff has put together a list of the top five large, medium, and small class teams in our coverage area entering Week 6.
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.
BACK & BETTER THAN EVER: Hutson Chance leads CPA past BGA 49-16
