It was wins all around last week in the High School Football America Pennsylvania Top 25, which sets up a fantastic regular season finish in our statewide rankings with two big head-to-head matchups that will shape next week’s T-25.
No. 2 Coatesville will battle No. 25 Downingtown East. The unbeaten Red Raiders can clinch the Chest-Mont National Division with a win. A win by East could create tri-champs if No. 20 Downingtown West beats West Chester East.
Out west, No. 3 Pine-Richland will look to win its ninth in a row when its faces unbeaten No. 4 North Allegheny. Both teams have already qualified for the WPIAL Class 6A playoffs, so this could be the first of two between the Rams and Tigers.
