IHSAA football rankings reshuffled in second week Indiana poll after surprises

IHSAA football rankings reshuffled in second week Indiana poll after surprises

One week of Indiana high school football is over and we already have two new No. 1 teams in the USA TODAY Network’s latest Indiana high school football poll, which was arrived at by a vote of media members from across the state.

Westfield jumped three spots to No. 1 in Class 6A thanks to its season-opening 34-28 win over Center Grove, which was previously ranked No. 3. Defending state champion Ben Davis dropped from No. 1 to No. 8 after falling to Cathedral 24-6. In Class 5A, Merrillville rose from No. 2 to No. 1 after its 27-0 win over Andrean. Decatur Central dropped from No. 1 to No. 6 after its 41-15 loss to 6A Columbus North.
