Since the season began the top three teams in the Blitz 5 Top 25 presented by TriStateFootball.com have not budged. Last Friday night that group proved why they are worthy of their rankings. The trio each knocked off top 10 foes to remain entrenched atop the poll.
This weekend’s schedule features five battles between top 25 teams, highlighted by top-ranked Lakota West on the road at #6 Fairfield. It should be an exciting Week 8 of the season.
