Following them is Merrillville, which dropped to third place after suffering a heavy defeat against Crown Point, losing 46-13.
In Class 2A, there’s a new leader as well, with Lafayette Central Catholic taking over after a narrow 23-21 win against Logansport. They now hold a record of 2-0 and have proven they can compete at a high level. Meanwhile, Lutheran was dethroned from the top spot and fell to fifth after their remarkable 45-game winning streak came to an end with a tight 16-13 loss to Triton Central, now ranked fourth.
