Up a spot to #5 is Tabor (9-2-4). The Seawolves only action this past week was a 1-1 tie with Belmont Hill. They have Thayer on Wednesday, and then Lawrence Academy on Friday in a pair of Keller Division games.
Milton Academy (11-4-2) climbs a few rungs to #6 after a productive week that saw wins over Lawrence Academy (3-1) and Pomfret (6-4). Up next is St. Paul’s on Wednesday and St. George’s on Saturday.
A big move this week is Belmont Hill (8-4-3) up six spots to #7 after the tie with Tabor and a 4-1 takedown of now #8 St. Mark’s (11-3-0). The Hillies are off until a Saturday matchup with St. Paul’s
St. Mark’s did defeat St. George’s and gets Middlesex (Wednesday) and Academie St. Louis (Friday).
#9 St. Sebastian’s (10-4-2) awaits its shot at top ranked Nobles on Wednesday. Nobles took an earlier season meeting between the top clubs.
