New #1 In Class A Patriot-News High School Football Rankings

It may not have been as big as Independence's (Charlotte, NC) 109-game win streak going down the drain a couple of weeks ago, but Class A teams across the Keystone state were smiling Friday night after hearing the Southern Columbia's 27-game win streak was snapped in a 19-0 loss to Bloomsburg.

The loss knocked the Tigers out of the #1 spot in the latest Patriot-News High School Football Rankings. Southern Columbia fell to #6, one spot behind Bloomsburg, which entered the poll this week at #5.

The longest win streak in the state now belongs to Upper St. Clair and Wilson Borough, which have won 18 straight coming into this weekend.

Meanwhile, everything else is pretty much the same, although Gateway, the pre-season #1 in 4A climbed a couple of spots to #5 after rebounding with a win over former #5 McKeesport.
