GAMES OF THE WEEK:
Tier II

#5 Holy Trinity Academy Knights at #4 Medicine Hat Mohawks
Friday, October 29, 7:00 p.m.
Methanex Bowl (Medicine Hat)
The Rangeland Conference Championship game is also the beginning of the hardest road to Provincials in all of Alberta. With so many solid Tier II teams that have the potential to advance to the southern half of the ASAA Provincials Draw it’s a meatgrinder each week from now on for all the teams involved. Both HTA and Hat High are very strong teams but the 2010 adventure ends this Friday for one of them. That will be a shame for the loser but it’s no bed of roses for the winner as they then advance to play #9 Catholic Central the following week for the right to even go to Provincials as the Region 1 rep. where top ranked teams await them there. The Mohawks won the regular season encounter between these two teams 21-13 on September 30[SUP]th[/SUP]. Should be fun under the lights in Medicine Hat this Friday.

Here are the Weekly Top-10 Rankings for all four Tier’s of high school football in Alberta for the 2010 season. These rankings will come out every Sunday (except for Labor Day when they will come out on Tuesday) from now up until Nov. 8.

The teams are slotted into Tiers based on their estimated school size, which may change once official counts are known at the end of September. Please note that games vs. US opponents, or tournaments are not taken into consideration for ranking or listed in the overall record of the schools due to too many variables and inconsistent rules for those games.
