According to the rankings...
- No changes in NYS Class AA, other than Jamestown inching up two spots to #19. The rankings committee remains convinced that a potential semifinal between Falls and Health at Buff State is the real Class AA championship locally.
- Timon heads back up to Class A, where they had always competed prior to the 2020 season. The Tigers debut there at #12, after occupying the #3 spot in NYS Class B last week.
- Nichols was #18 in NYS Class B last week. However, with the move to Class A, the Vikings were unable to crack the Class A rankings for this week, heading into a showdown against St. Francis in the Manhattan Cup Playoffs.
- Canisius is up to #7 in the rankings, but remains the second best Catholic school in NYS Class A, with Nazareth occupying the #1 ranking in the state with a 24-0 record.
- Lew-Port is now the top-ranked local squad in NYS Class B, with its highest ranking of the season at #9.
- Gabe Michael's magic cape was returned - a package arrived at 845 Kenmore Avenue with no signature request or return address. However, by that point, the magic was gone and St. Joe's fell out of the Class A rankings. However, The Gators of Allegany-Limestone, who might know a little something about said cape, moved from #26 in NYS Class B to #21 like a magic carpet ride.
