Dunmore used a 4-2 victory over Holy Cross in Thursday night’s Lackawanna League Division 2 playoff game to take over the No. 1 Small School boys spot in the Riverfront United Super Six Soccer Power Rankings of District 2 teams.
With the regular season winding down – District 2 set its postseason pairings Thursday morning – the schedule was generally light, leading to minimal movement in the rankings, which were released following the playoff game. Six ranked teams did not play in the past week.
Delaware Valley, Hazleton Area and Old Forge moved up in boys rankings this week while the girls rankings all remained the same.
Abington Heights is No. 1 in Big School boys and girls while Holy Redeemer is still the No. 1 Small School girls team.
North Pocono follows Abington Heights, the Lackawanna League Division 1 champion and District 2-4 Class 4A Subregional top seed, in Big School boys.
Delaware Valley and Hazleton Area each jumped up two spots to third and fourth. Hazleton Area forced a first-place tie and playoff for the Wyoming Valley Conference Division 1 title with Dallas, which dropped from third to fifth.
Dallas is the top seed in the District 2 Class 3A playoffs. The Mountaineers will play Hazleton Area Friday afternoon at Berwick.
Wyoming Area also slipped two spots to sixth.
