Pete’s Top-10: Poll hits midseason lull

Poll has been stagnant the past few weeks, with little movement in the rankings and this week doesn’t provide much suspense either.

The top four teams look to be cemented throughout the rest of the regular season, but that’s where things get interesting this week with a city showdown between Bethlehem Catholic and Freedom this week, as well as Emmaus traveling to Easton this Friday in a pivotal showdown in the playoff race.

In the Colonial League, Southern Lehigh keeps romping on opponents, as they look like a legit contender in the District 11 5A race, while Northwestern appears to be the top dog in 3A.
