(Top 20 teams qualify for postseason)
Currently No. 1: Wilson
YAIAA contenders: 2. Central York, 8. Red Lion, 15. William Penn
Rapid reaction: The second-rated Panthers and No. 1 Wilson have played once already. Could they meet again? Elsewhere, Dallastown is just off the top 20 at No. 21. The Wildcats' rating of .666 trails Central Dauphin East's .669.
(Top 18 teams qualify for postseason)
Currently No. 1: Bishop McDevitt
YAIAA contenders: 2. West York, 5. Bermudian Springs, 13. York Suburban, 17. Northeastern, 18. Eastern York
Rapid reaction: This is a big week for No. 2 West York. The Bulldogs opened with a win at William Penn and travel to Central York on Wednesday. That's back-to-back quad-A opponents who are projected tournament teams. Also, while Dallastown is just on the outside in 4A, Dover is just behind the YAIAA contingent of Northeastern and Eastern York here.

Area contenders: 5. New Hope Academy
Rapid reaction: The Mighty Ants picked up a few losses before the weekend concluded, but they've faced some tough opponents, including Berks Catholic. The Saints were 8-3 and ninth in the 3A rankings going into this week.
