Blitz 5 Top 25: Week 5

The GCL South is flexing its muscles with four schools in the first five slots of this week’s Blitz 5 Top 25 powered by TriStateFootball.com. The league kicks off conference play this Friday and its teams will be duking it out over the next several weekends.

There are seven games pitting Top 25 teams against each other this weekend. Expect plenty of movement in the poll when the dust clears. The marquee matchup is #1 St. Xavier at #4 Moeller. Are the Crusaders back to being a powerhouse or will the Bombers prove once again why they are one of the top squads in the country.
