Pennsylvania High School Football Rankings

Plenty of changes in this week's 4A high school football rankings from The Patriot-News.

The reason? Top-ranked Gateway's loss to Cardinal Mooney in Saturday's Ohio Versus USA Challenge III. The Gators tumble to #7 while Pittsburgh Central Catholic climbs into the top spot after winning it's game in The Challenge.
