Lexington Catholic continued to solidify its spot at No. 1 with another undefeated week and No. 2 Great Crossing also enjoyed an unbeaten week. Frederick Douglass stays at No. 3 with an unblemished record that extended its long winning streak. Speaking of unbeatens, LexCath is the only unbeaten team against the region. They are one of four unbeatens against district opponents along with Great Crossing, Frederick Douglass and Madison Central. Changes in the rankings include a move up by Sayre. Individually, Madison Central's Jaylen Davis had a nice scoring week as did Madison Southern's Jay Rose.
