The biggest shakeup in the rankings came in Division 6 where No. 1 Madison Heights Madison lost to St. Clair Shores South Lake, 54-28, a Division 4 team.

Madison’s loss opened the door for Millington to move into the top spot in Division 6.
Another No. 1 team to lose was Muskegon, which lost, 38-35, Lincolnshire Stevenson, a powerhouse team from Illinois with an enrollment of 4,179 students, compared to Muskegon’s 1,052. That is why the Big Reds are still No. 1 in Division 3.
Utica Eisenhower’s victory over Macomb Dakota moved it up one spot to No. 4 in Division 1. Davison, which has victories of 50 and 35 points, makes its debut in the Division 1 rankings, along with Grandville and Grand Blanc.
For the first time in years all three Traverse City teams are in the rankings. Traverse City Central joins Traverse City West in the D-2 top 10, but one of the teams could be making a quick exit. They play each other this week. St. Francis is firmly entrenched in the No. 2 spot in D-7.
The only ranked team to lose in Division 4 was Lansing Sexton, which was beaten by Grandville, No. 9 in D-1. Taking Sexton’s place this week is Benton Harbor, which hasn’t been ranked in decades. The Tigers of coach Elliott Uzelac notched an impressive win over Grand Rapids South Christian last week.
There were some good wins by unranked Division 5 teams last week, but no one could break into the Top 10 because all 10 ranked teams won.
Detroit Loyola suffered a 35-14 loss to two-time defending Division 3 state champ Orchard Lake St. Mary’s, but in the long run that loss will only help Loyola, which remains No. 1 in D-7.
