Once again this year, SportsFive will publish, each week, rankings in each class. SportsFive will continue to publish the New York State Sportswriters poll and will provide links to the Laxpower national polls.

After some important match ups, we are finally starting to see some "shake out" in Class A.

CLASS A
We finally get to shake up Class A shakes up this week after a number of important games: Penfield defeating Irondequoit, Schroeder defeating Fairport, and Pittsford beating both Gates Chili and RH. Pittsford steps up as a strong competitor with their first MC-1 win in a while and demonstrates that they are stronger than MC-3 powerhouse Gates-Chili. Schroeder also demonstrated that they are not to be taken lightly with their very big 13-4 win over Fairport.

Penfield's 11-7 win over Irondequoit moves them into the second spot. We still feel that Canandaigua is the team to beat, with Penfield and Irondequoit close behind. The second time that the Patriots and Eagles face each other will be a game to watch.

This week we move away from Honorable Mention and rank the top 8 teams in A. McQuaid Jesuit stays strong at 7-4 even though they lost to Livonia.

CLASS B
Class B has one addition this week. In looking forward to the "Final Four" and after the HFL v. Eastridge game this week, we are inserting the Cougars into the fourth spot of Class B. Aquinas and Victor stay strong in second and third. Even after a tough loss to defending State Champion, Jamesville-DeWitt, the Panthers hold on to the number one spot.

CLASS C
Class C also remains the same. This week will see some key games for the Class C rankings. On Tuesday, Haverling and Livonia will face each other for the second time this season, Haverling will look for the first GRALL win and Livonia will look for a more dominant win than their 7-5 win on April 8th. Waterloo faces Pal-Mac for the second time and this time with their roster back to strength and hope to reassert themselves with the victory.

GAMES THIS WEEK
Most of the big games this week are on Tuesday where we will see Penfield and Fairport, Pittsford and Schroeder, Haverling and Livonia and Geneva and Victor in exciting match ups. On Thursday, Irondequoit and Schroeder play their round two game.
