Trio of new top-ranked teams in Indiana Football Coaches Association state poll

There are three new No. 1 teams in the Indiana Football Coaches Association state poll.

Brownsburg (Class 6A), Whiteland (5A) and Linton-Stockton (2A) all rose to the top spot in their respective polls after the previous No. 1 suffered their first losses of the season.

With a 52-27 win over Monrovia Friday, Linton-Stockton moved to 3-0 this season and vaulted to No. 1 from No. 3 in the poll after Evansville Mater Dei and Eastbrook were defeated.

Andrean (1-2) moved from No. 4 to No. 2 with Indianapolis Scecina (3-0) also rising two spots. Evansville Mater Dei (2-1), Eastbrook (2-1), Lafayette Central Catholic (2-1), LaVille (3-0), Fort Wayne Luers (1-2), Heritage Christian (2-1) and Triton Central (2-1) round out the top 10 this week.

 

 

Triton Central dropped three spots after its 54-41 loss Friday to Class A, No. 1 Indianapolis Lutheran.

Lutheran (3-0) maintained its top ranking in Class A. Adams Central (3-0) is No. 2 followed by South Adams (3-0), Park Tudor (3-0), North Judson (3-0), North Decatur (3-0), Carroll (Flora) (3-0), Tri (3-0), Monroe Central (2-1) and South Putnam (2-1).

Despite taking its first loss of the season Friday to Class 4A, No. 2 Roncalli (17-14), Chatard (2-1) is again the top-ranked team in Class 3A. West Lafayette (3-0) is No. 2 ahead of Gibson Southern (3-0), Western Boone (3-0), Guerin Catholic (3-0), Tri-West (2-1), Norwell (3-0), Hanover Central (3-0), Lawrenceburg (2-1) and Mishawaka Marian (1-2).
