The Top 20 in this week’s PA/NJ Region Rankings remains relatively the same. Penn Manor maintains the #1 spot after defeating then #1 ranked Donegal last week (now #2). They sit at 21-0-0 after capturing the Lancaster-Lebanon League Championship with a 2-0 win over Manheim Township in the final. #3 Emmaus is still looking incredibly strong and could easily be plugged into the #1 or #2 spot. They are now 20-0-0 and claimed another EPC Championship last week. We have two changes in the Top 10. Oak Knoll School gets the nod ahead of Downingtown West (now 18-0-0 and the Ches-Mont League Champions) after having a monster 4-0 week, securing convincing wins over some of the top squads in New Jersey, including West Essex (score: 5-1), Bridgewater-Raritan (score: 4-0), and Shawnee (score: 5-1). Oley Valley (19-1-0) also enters the Top 10 at #8 after claiming back-to-back Berks League Championships with a 2-1 win over now #12 ranked Wilson last week.
