T25PS Graphic
Week 5 brought plenty of opportunities for teams across the T25PS Top 100 to strengthen their résumés, and several took full advantage.
Few teams helped themselves more than Massillon Washington (OH). The Tigers went on the road and knocked off St. Edward (OH) 23-21, adding another major win to a résumé that already includes a victory over Glenville (OH) and NFL Academy (GB). Massillon's latest statement sends the Tigers soaring 11 spots to #14 this week.
Not everyone survived a showdown with national competition. #7 West Boca Raton (FL) suffered its first loss of the season in a 15-14 battle with St. John's (DC), dropping the Bulls to #16. In Louisiana, Edna Karr (LA) continued building one of the stronger résumés in the country with a 21-14 win over Ruston (LA), moving the Cougars into the Top 25 while sending Ruston down to #51.
The biggest shakeup came in Arizona. Liberty (AZ) lost 30-22 at Basha (AZ), sending the Lions from #14 to #40. Basha returns to the rankings at #59. That was far from the only major movement this week, with Mililani (HI), Warren Central (IN) and Prattville (AL) all making significant jumps after impressive wins.
Despite all of that movement, there wasn't a massive turnover at the bottom of the rankings. Just three new teams enter the Top 100 this week, with Basha joined by Columbia (FL) and West Orange (FL).
