Week 13 Rankings: Beech, Southwind prep for postseason rematch

The first week of the postseason has come and gone. Upsets occurred while other top teams rolled.

Week 2 of the postseason promises to be just as exciting as the first if not more. It also promises to provide some changes in next week’s area rankings.

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. This rankings are based off of results, head-to-head matchups and current form for teams.

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.
