In the second Top 10 rankings of the 2022 season and like last week, the Moeller Crusaders stay atop the rankings after handling Indiana’s East Central. Division II powerhouse, Winton Woods once again handled business, crushing West Clermont on the road. Princeton, once again pitched a shutout, their second consecutive shutout win, this time in an absolute demolition victory over Lakota East, 71-0. The top four teams can easily be interchanged as they are all capable of being in the top spot. That is why there was movement in the top four, despite all of the teams claiming victory.
Kings moves up two spots after handling business against a lowly Walnut Hills team. Both Kings and Winton Woods are looking to continue to rack up wins before their massive showdown in four weeks.
There is a new team that has entered the rankings, the St. Xavier Bombers. St. X has started off their season with two losses, both on the road to Lakota West and Loyola (Md.). They rebounded nicely with a victory over Olentangy Liberty on Friday night.

Once again there are some pretty big games to be played while some of the top 10 teams have some easier matchups. This week could once again see some movement. Will there be any upsets that come about? As with every week, high school football fans are in for a treat as there will be great football to be played this weekend. Those will be things to keep and eye on as this season continues to play out.
