Council Rock North (Pa.) was the big winner this week, moving from No. 2 to No. 1 in the Pennsylvania rankings after posting a 2-0 victory against former No. 1 Pennsbury (Pa.) last week.
In fact, there were a trio of No. 1 vs. No. 2 state match-ups last week, and in all three cases, the No. 2 team won. In New Hampshire, Manchester Central edged Pinkerton Academy, and in South Dakota, Lincoln returned to No. 1 after routing Aberdeen.
The other 30 state No. 1s listed by ESPN RISE combined for a 62-0-3 week.
Today, we release the weekly ESPN Rise state-by-state rankings with the ESPN Rise FAB 50 to appear Tuesday afternoon on ESPNRise.com.
