Well, you can say that my picks last week were a bit off the mark. Liberty, Freedom and Easton each dropped contests, pushing them further down the EPC totem pole, while Parkland, Bethlehem Catholic and Whitehall climb.

Emmaus remains on top for a second straight week, while Saucon Valley makes their highest jump of the season.

Midway through the season, there are still a lot of questions to be answered. Hopefully, this week provides more clarity.
