Blitz 5 Top 25: Week 8

Well, no one saw that coming. A seemingly invincible top-ranked St. Xavier dropped its first game of the season last Friday night. Despite the loss the Bombers remain atop the Blitz 5 Top 25 powered by TriStateFootball.com based on the strength of their schedule and what they have done locally.

Lakota West and Lakota East continue their hot streaks as each squad has now won six games in a row. Lakota East beat Colerain for the first time since 1999. The two rivals are on a collision course for a Week 10 showdown which would determine the GMC championship.
