COVID-19 cancellations and other postponements have kept little movement in the island’s high school football rankings in the past two weeks.
Last weekend, five more games with Icelandic squads were dropped from the schedule, making it difficult for the teams to gain ground or relegate in the rankings.
In this week’s leaderboard, Port Richmond and McKee / Staten Island Tech have swapped places.
Here are the latest SILive.com/Advance-Rankings:
No. 11 Petrides (2-1): The Panthers, who stay at No. 11, won, but never took the field as they took the forfeited victory over Grand Street, which no team was able to field.
