Portsmouth and Rogers stay put at No. 2 and 9, respectively, which makes sense after each posted an easy win over a lousy team last week. Things get much more interesting for the Patriots and Vikings this week as Portsmouth faces top-ranked Bishop Hendricken and Rogers travels to Moses Brown, which laid a beating 34-8 on Middletown on Friday. With that loss, Middletown dropped from No. 13 to 18 in the poll.
If the Patriots can upset Hendricken (which received all 11 first-place votes again this week), and it would be an upset, despite how well Portsmouth has played of late, they almost certainly will ascend to the No. 1 ranking. It would be the first time in the poll's brief history that a Newport County team earned the top spot.
