Triton Central is the new No. 1 ranked football team in Class 2A.

With the Tigers’ 36-7 win Friday over New Castle and Evansville Mater Dei’s 49-7 loss at Castle, Triton Central has ascended from No. 2 to No. 1 in this week’s Indiana Football Coaches Association’s state coaches poll.

Evansville Mater Dei, the reigning Class 2A state champions, dropped to No. 4 in the week two poll. Eastbrook rises to No. 2 behind Triton Central. Indianapolis Scecina moves up to No. 3.

The rest of the 2A top 10 includes Linton-Stockton at No. 5 followed by Lafayette Central Catholic, Brownstown Central, LaVille, Heritage Christian and Andrean.

Triton Central’s hold on the top spot is precarious with the top-ranked team in Class A up next for the Tigers. Indianapolis Lutheran has won 32 straight games and hosts Triton Central Friday.

Following the Saints in the Class A poll are Adams Central, Carroll (Flora), North Judson, South Putnam, Park Tudor, South Adams, Providence, Sheridan and North Decatur.

Indianapolis Bishop Chatard is the No. 1 team in Class 3A. Guerin Catholic is No. 2 ahead of Lawrenceburg, West Lafayette, Gibson Southern, Hanover Central, Western Boone, Tri-West, Heritage Hills and Oak Hill.

East Central, the defending Class 4A state champions, remains atop the 4A poll this week. Kokomo is No. 2 ahead of Evansville Reitz, Evansville Memorial, NorthWood, Roncalli, New Palestine, Northridge, Columbia City and Greenfield-Central.

In Class 5A, Fort Wayne Snider is No. 1 followed by Merrillville, Bloomington South, Decatur Central, Valparaiso, Whiteland, Concord, Plainfield, Mishawaka and Bloomington North.

Ben Davis holds the top spot in Class 6A. Center Grove is No. 2 with Hamilton Southeastern, Brownsburg, Westfield, Fishers, Cathedral, Penn, Carroll (Allen) and Franklin Central completing the top 10.
