Photo by Austin McFadden/MSA.

Every Monday, team records and resumés are compiled and ranked based on how MSA feels where each team stands to date.

This week: One-loss Quince Orchard, coming off their first win against a ranked opponent, joins the Top 10 while Douglass-PG reenters. After its emphatic double-digit win over previous No. 6 Tuscarora, Oakdale rockets to No. 11. Aberdeen, riding a 12-game win-streak, moves to No. 17. Old Mill suffered its first loss while No. 20 Allegany and No. 24 Century continue to surge.

Wise, now nationally ranked by MaxPreps, holds the top spot for the 11th week in a row and is the only remaining unbeaten team in Maryland at 15-0.
