The postseason is upon us in Pennsylvania (except for the Inter-Ac Conference), and while we saw some shaking up in this week’s Pennsylvania High School Football Top 25 State Rankings, we might see stability over the next week or two as the top teams ease into the postseason.

But last week saw some titanic results, such as Roman Catholic posting a historic victory over rival St. Joseph’s Prep to win the Philadelphia Catholic League Red Division, and State College routing Harrisburg to send the Cougars tumbling further down the rankings.

Two teams — Propel Braddock Hills and Episcopal Academy — dropped out this week, with Hopewell and Great Valley taking their place.

Here are this week’s Pennsylvania High School Football Top 25 State Rankings.
