Blitz 5 Top 25: Week 6

We have hit the mid-way mark of the regular season and St. Xavier isn’t budging from the top spot of the Blitz 5 Top 25 powered by TriStateFootball.com. The Bombers have wins over #2 Lakota West, #5 Moeller and #7 Colerain. They get another crack at a Top 10 win on Friday night as #6 Elder comes calling.
