The top half of the Big School rankings was revamped this week following close games between ranked teams in the Gaughan Auto Store Super Six Power Rankings.
The rankings, compiled weekly by our partner site, NEPAFootball.com, are for teams in the Lackawanna Football Conference and Wyoming Valley Conference.
North Pocono and Hazleton Area are the new second- and third-ranked teams.
Delaware Valley and Wyoming Valley West moved into the rankings this week while Lackawanna Trail also moved up.
There is potential for more movement with Hazleton Area and Delaware Valley in one of the two games between between ranked teams on the upcoming schedule.
Valley View and Scranton Prep, which are scheduled to meet on the final weekend of the regular season, remained in the top spots.
Valley View is the only unbeaten Big School after improving to 5-0 by doing all of its scoring before the midway point of the second quarter in a 48-0 rout of West Scranton. The Cougars host Crestwood (1-4) Friday.
North Pocono jumped from fourth to second after going on the road to beat what was a ranked team at the time, Wallenpaupack, 13-6. The Trojans (4-1) are at Abington Heights (1-4) Saturday.
Hazleton Area (3-2) knocked off a higher-ranked opponent, beating Dallas, 28-21, in overtime to climb from sixth to third. The Cougars put their three-game winning streak on the line at home against fifth-ranked Delaware Valley Friday.
The loss dropped Dallas (2-2) from second to fourth. The Mountaineers are at former No. 1 and currently unranked Williamsport (3-2) Friday.
Delaware Valley (2-3) returned to the rankings in fifth after routing Abington Heights, 39-7. The Warriors have won two straight since opening the season with three straight losses to state-ranked opponents.
