Berks Catholic, once a fixture in the state rankings, has returned to the Top 10 after winning six straight games. The Saints, who moved into the Team To Watch category last week in the PennLive.com rankings, are No. 10 in Class 3A.
Berks Catholic is the only District 3 team in the 3A Top 10.
The Saints are one of five Berks teams to appear in the rankings.
Wilson moved up one spot to No. 9 in Class 6A, one slot ahead of Manheim Township, which moved up to No. 10 this week. Those teams meet Friday at Gurski Stadium to decide the Lancaster-Lebanon League Section 1 title.
Exeter, after a second straight loss, fell out of the Top 10. The Eagles are listed as a Team To Watch. They were No. 10 last week before losing to Conestoga Valley, which moves into the Top 10 at No. 9. The Eagles were No. 5 for seven straight weeks before losing to Hempfield.
Twin Valley remains No. 3 and Wyomissing No. 7 in the 4A rankings. Lampeter-Strasburg, which was routed last week by the Raiders, slips out of the Top 10.
