Week 4 of the football season produced an array of results that threw the poll for a loop heading to the midpoint of the season, but one team managed to stay in the same spot and that was Emmaus.

The Green Hornets had the easiest week of anyone, but that changes when they take on Bethlehem Catholic Friday night in one of the premier showdowns in the EPC this week.

The other one is Freedom visiting Central Catholic on Saturday night, as both teams are coming off huge victories last week.

Nazareth drops a few spots from its first loss of the season, while the Trojans take the biggest tumble of anyone.

Some newcomers make their first appearances in the poll, in what is shaping up to be an epic Week 5 of contests.
