Central Catholic still No. 3 in the state entering biggest week of season

FROM KEITH GROLLER


Central Catholic is still ranked No. 3 in the state in the latest state rankings compiled by Michael Bullock of the Harrisburg Patriot-News and pennlive.com.
But that number doesn't matter at this point.
What matters is the number two, as in two tough opponents to get through.
First up is Bishop McDevitt on Tuesday night in Pottsville.
And maybe, just maybe, if Parkland can also put together two wins this week the Trojans will be state-ranked when these things come out next Monday.
Here's a look at the entire state rankings:
