Blitz 5 Top 25: Week 3

St. Xavier continued to make statements last Friday night. The Bombers retained the top spot in the Blitz 5 Top 25 presented by TriStateFootball.com after handing Colerain its most lopsided loss in the 21st century last Friday night. St. Xavier and La Salle each picked up their second victories over Top 10 teams.

Cooper and Badin are newcomers to the poll this week. Both squads pulled off big wins as their defenses stepped up and stole the limelight.

COVID-19 protocols have begun to become a factor as Hamilton and Fairfield had to cancel their games. It has sent teams scrambling to deal with holes in the schedule. There are sure to be more cancellations in the upcoming weeks. Prepare for a bumpy, but interesting ride this season.
