Suffolk Slant: Top 10 teams

Week 2 was a wacky one, with games being played on various days because of the Jewish holiday and the rain and lightning that struck Long Island on Thursday night. No changes at the top, but there was some expected early-season reshuffling of the deck in Suffolk.

Again, I remind readers that these rankings are strictly my opinion and are posted with the hope they will generate interest and conversation about high school football. They are not official and have no bearing on the weekly coaches’ power ratings that eventually determine playoff seeds.
