For the second straight week, a team outside the HighSchoolOT statewide top 25 rankings jumps into the top 15.

Last week, it was Providence Day.

This week, it’s rival Charlotte Latin.

Latin, the only new team this week, defeated Marvin Ridge to earn its spot.

The top 10 took a few changes as well, with Hough sliding up to fourth, Apex to sixth, and Middle Creek jumping to ninth.

Lake Norman remains at No. 1 despite two out-of-state losses (one appears to be a forfeit). Cardinal Gibbons also has an out-of-state loss at No. 2, while No. 3 Charlotte Catholic has lost close games to both Gibbons and Lake Norman as well as an out-of-state loss.
