Number in parentheses is last week’s ranking. NR means not ranked.

Team (last week)

Taking A Closer Look

1. (1) Abington Heights (5-0)
Offense is averaging 41.8 points for defending D2-3A champ.

2. (2) Dallas (5-0)
Defense had trouble defending the pass in 52-43 win over Williamsport.

3. (3) GAR (5-0)
In D2-2A driver’s seat, but the ride gets bumpy over the next three weeks.

4. (4) Riverside (5-0)
Looks like the Vikings will be 8-0 going into Oct.29 game with Lakeland.

5. (7) West Scranton (4-1)
Tyler Hughes had seven TD passes in 48-27 victory over North Pocono.

6. (5) Williamsport (3-2)
Defensive performance vs. Dallas was reminiscent of the lean years.

7. (9) Dunmore (3-2)
Lakeland and Riverside are the only tough games remaining.

8. (11) Lakeland (4-1)
Has two tough road games left with Dunmore and Riverside.

9. (12) Wyoming Valley West (3-2)
Has spread the ball around nicely the past two games.

10. (15) Valley View (4-1)
Second half of the schedule could be roughest in Lackawanna Conference.

11. (6) North Pocono (3-2)
Strong start could sour by the time season finale arrives.

12. (13) Susquehanna (4-1)
Looks like it could run the table until Nov. 6 game with Old Forge.

13. (10) Old Forge (3-2)
Disappointing loss to rival Riverside won’t hurt D2-A playoff chances.

14. (8) Delaware Valley (3-2)
Two-game losing streak allowed D 2/4-4A race to tighten.

15. (NR) Lake-Lehman (4-1)
Not overly impressive in wins over Holy Redeemer and Meyers.

Dropped out: Crestwood (3-2).

Given consideration: Coughlin (2-3); Crestwood (3-2); Hanover Area (3-2); Wyoming Area (3-2).
