Click the arrows on the slides or the dots below to navigate through the rankings. Slideshow will autoplay.

The Ingots hold on to their spot in the RSN rankings after a dominating win over Lake Station in “The Battle of Deep River,” and hold on to the Frank Chester trophy. A win over an archrival is a great way to build momentum, which is exactly what the Ingots will need this week when they travel to Cedar Lake to take on Hanover Central. The Wildcats haven’t lost a regular season game at home since September 28, 2018, so RF has a tough task ahead of them, but a great opportunity to prove all their doubters wrong.

A nail-biter on Friday didn’t go the Trojans’ way as they fell at home to City 24-21. It’s the second straight loss and it has them on the brink of falling out of the rankings. A trip to Kiwanis Field more a matchup with 0-3 LaPorte is on deck for Friday night, but with two straight L’s, the Trojans have to make sure they focus on this week’s opponent and don’t get caught looking ahead to the Week #5 showdown with Valpo, or else it could be a third straight defeat.

Another week – and another dominating performance for the Warriors, who remain undefeated. With their 45-0 win over Wheeler, the Warriors are 3-0 for the first time since 2018. Calumet looks to keep riding the wave of momentum, and will finally get to play at home this week with well-rested Whiting coming to the Badlands. The Warriors are the Region’s highest scoring team at 51 points per contest, and you know they want to put on a show for their home fans.

On the precipice of falling out of the rankings, the Wolves saved their spot in the RSN Top 10, and potentially their season, by going on the road to beat Chesterton in Week #3. With the Vikings of Valpo coming to Ames Field on Friday, there’s no time to rest on the laurels of last week’ s win (is there ever in the Duneland?),. Was the over Chesterton a turning point for City or just a single game they were able to pull out? We could find out this week.

It might have been closer, for most of the contest, than many thought, but the Brickies got their first win of the season with a 35-0 shutout of Griffith. Now the Brickies have to hit the road after two straight home contests, as they head to Culver Academy to take on the Eagles. Hobart dominated the last two meetings against CMA, outscoring them a combined 87-6 in those matchups, so this could be a good week to get the offense going early - something we haven’t seen too much of this year.

No team in the Region may have moved past an opening week loss faster than the Vikings. After the loss to Penn, all Valpo has done is outscore their two opponents by a combined 94-3. Not too shabby. However, the waters do get a bit choppier for the Green Machine this week when they set sail for Michigan City. We know Valpo has revenge on its mind after City won the double overtime Regional thriller last year - and while a regular season win doesn’t quite erase that sting, it would give Gang Green three wins in a row and keep them at the top of the DAC standings.

Here’s a rare case of a team moving down after a win. Congrats to the Niners, who earned their first win of the season - a two-pointer over Crete-Monee. The move down has more to do with the dominating performances of teams around them in the rankings. With three closely contested games (yes, even the opening week loss to Merrillville), Andrean and its fans could use a blowout victory - and there’s a chance that happens this when they head to EC Central, where the Niners are heavy favorites.

Not only do the Wildcats have the fifth best scoring defense in the state, allowing just four points per game surrendered, they have the 13th best scoring totals at 48 points per game. Yeah, that’s a recipe for success on the field. The Cats are even #10 in this week’s state-wide AP rankings, so they’re finally starting to get some attention outside of the Region. Expect more outsider’s to look at what’s going on in Cedar Lake, as Hanover has the chance to put up big numbers all season.

The Pirate ship may have suffered some superficial damage after taking their first regular season loss to a Region school since October of 2019, but by no means is it in danger of sinking. With the loss to CP behind them, the Pirates now turn their attention to Portage. Will there be any residual effects from the week three defeat? We’ll find out on Friday, but our guess is no there won’t be.

In case there were any doubters left, CP’s game three win over Merrillville proved that the Bulldogs have plenty of bark and plenty of bite. The Dogs are 3-0 for the first time since the 2014 season that saw them reach eight wins, followed by a first round playoff exit. After just three weeks, the expectations are much higher than that in the County Hub, especially after last week’s performance, so don’t expect Buzz’s boys to back off the gas any time soon. They’ve earned their way to the top of the rankings in just a few short weeks - now all they have to do is stay there.
