Jerry Palleschi/TSM

Opening week games for Class 11B and the 9-man classes have been completed. Here are the latest rankings heading into this week.

Four teams within 11B, 9AA, 9A, and 9B that were not ranked in the preseason poll managed to jump into the top five this week. On top of that, favorites in each of those classes outside of 9B have been established after the opening week.

Class 11AAA, 11AA, and 11A will begin games this week. Due to not playing last week, this week's rankings are unchanged from the preseason poll.
