Three Rivers League play kicked off this week, leading to a shakeup near the top of the High School On SI Oregon Top 25 Football State Rankings.

West Linn rebounded from its Week 4 loss to Nelson in a big way, going to Tualatin and triggering a running clock in handing the Timberwolves their first loss of the season.

That moved the Lions up to No. 3 in this week’s rankings and dropped the Wolves to No. 5, setting up another massive game Friday night when No. 1 Lake Oswego comes to Gregory Memorial Stadium to face West Linn.

The only team to drop out of the rankings is Oregon City, while Roseburg takes the Pioneers’ spot after the Indians improved to 5-0 with a road win against Eagle Point.

Here are this week’s Top 25 Oregon Football State Rankings.
