COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The top of the Division III rankings remain unchanged, as No. 1 Worthington Christian, No. 2 Harvest Prep and No. 3 Bishop Ready went a combined 6-0 this past weekend, picking up some impressive wins along the way.
The MSL-Ohio is a staple of strength, as the league held the No. 1 ranking in Division II, III and IV last week before Buckeye Valley fell in double overtime to Bishop Watterson this past Saturday. That challenge will do wonders for top-ranked Worthington Christian, who leads in strength of record points by a wide margin.
It might be time to start talking about North Union. The Wildcats are 6-0 and picked up a great win over Fairbanks this past weekend in the same gym where Hoosiers was filmed. North Union will get its first stiff challenge when it hits the road and pays a visit to Division I Marysville this weekend. The Monarchs upset a good Dublin Coffman team two weeks ago and will pose the biggest threat to North Union's undefeated mark.
Another hot squad is Centerburg, rolling at 7-1 with its only loss coming by a margin of six points on the road at unbeaten Heath, who stands atop Division II this week.
