As we approach midway point of the regular season, one would generally think the number of undefeated programs is dwindling. Of course, when we start off a season, all 60 of the schools in our Top Ten rankings are without a blemish.
Entering the first weekend of October, we've got 41 of the 60 teams in these rankings among the six classifications without a loss. That number will decrease with some undefeated teams squaring off against each other, including two big ones in Tidewater that will have Class 5 implications as Green Run hosts Salem in a Beach District battle plus a Southeastern District showdown in Suffolk with Indian River visiting King's Fork.
Other matchups of note feature Glenvar traveling to reigning Class 2 State Champ Radford, trying to stay undefeated and exorcise some demons from last year's playoffs.
The rankings remain exactly the same, unchanged from a week ago, in both Class 5 and Class 4. Five schools made on our Honorable Mention cut without a loss, each trying to find their way in as we inch closer to the playoffs.
