WEEK #1: PA/NJ Region High School Rankings

Eastern Regional High School (NJ) and Emmaus High School (PA) hold strong at the #1 and #2 spots in the PA/NJ Region Rankings, both off to 2-0 starts.  The big story early this season is Hershey High School (PA).  The Trojans knocked off then #3 ranked Palmyra Area and tied then ranked #8 Lower Dauphin, showing they can hang with the best in the state.  They enter the Top 20 and jump right up to the #11 spot.  There are three other newcomers to the Top 20 this week, all from Pennsylvania and all off to undefeated starts.  They are #16 Oley Valley, #18 Conestoga, and #19 Lake-Lehman.  Episcopal Academy, Crestwood, Twin Valley, and Downingtown East all drop out of the Top 20 after having slow starts to the season.
