Scranton Prep, the defending Lackawanna League champion, is third.
Wyoming Seminary and Valley View, which finished last season in the bottom two spots in the rankings, are fourth and fifth.

Holy Redeemer has not yet opened its season.
MMI Prep won its only match, beating Crestwood, a District 2 Class 3A finalist last season.
