A  topsy-turvy weekend in the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) A Conference has caused a shakeup in this week’s High School on SI Baltimore area football Top 10.

St. Frances maintains the No. 1 spot with Archbishop Spalding and McDonogh School at Nos. 2 and 3, respectively. Milford Mill moves up to fourth while Loyola Blakefield slides down to No. 5 after being routed by McDonogh School.

Arundel, which outlasted Anne Arundel County (Md.) league rival Broadneck, is sixth. After knocking previously undefeated Mount Saint Joseph, Concordia Prep enters the poll at No. 7. 

Mount St. Joseph, Paul Laurence Dunbar and Gilman School complete the Top 10. Gilman enters after handing then-No. 10 St. Mary’s its first setback. 

Two ranked matchups are on tap this week with Archbishop Spalding visiting Gilman and Loyola hosting Concordia.
