Rockford is back in the Division 1 rankings this week, after it beat Grandville, 7-6, thanks to an inadvertent whistle wiping out a Grandville touchdown. That is why Grandville also still is rated.

Detroit King’s loss to Detroit Cass Tech didn’t negatively affect the Crusaders’ ranking in Division 2. Warren Cousino and Flint Carman-Ainsworth moved into D-2 this week, after Farmington Hills Harrison and Birmingham Brother Rice lost for the third time each.

East Grand Rapids has two losses but is now ranked in Division 3 after it handed then-No. 2 Grand Rapids Christian a decisive 28-7 loss. Fenton, another two-loss team, has played well lately and is now ranked.

River Rouge created even more space between the No. 1 and No. 2 spot in Division 4 when it drilled Pontiac Notre Dame Prep, 42-0. Milan, with an impressive victory over Grosse Ile, debuts at No. 8 in D-4, and Lake Fenton is No. 10.

Clare has won five straight since its three-point loss to Ithaca in Week 1 and is ranked No. 10 in Division 5 after Montague was upset by North Muskegon.

Laingsburg’s 40-7 loss to Pewamo-Westphalia and Quincy’s 42-6 loss to Homer made way for Tawas and perennial playoff power Jackson Lumen Christi in the Division 6 rankings.

Hudson and Concord were the only Division 7 teams to lose, and their losses opened the door for Royal Oak Shrine and Elkton-Pigeon-Bay Port, both with long playoff histories, to debut in the rankings.

Norway’s 28-14 loss to Negaunee, No. 1 in Division 6, had no impact on the Division 8 rankings. But joining the D-8 fun this week are two schools that know how to win in the state playoffs: Mendon and Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes.
