Brownsburg stays on top, see who moved up in USA TODAY Indiana Week 8 poll
There is chaos below it, but undefeated Brownsburg maintained a hold on the No. 1 spot on Class 6A in the USA TODAY Network Indiana state high school football poll for a second consecutive week.
Brownsburg (7-0) defeated Zionsville 66-28 on Friday, a week after knocking off previously unbeaten Westfield. The Bulldogs took 16 of the 17 first-place votes. Crown Point (7-0) took the other first-place vote and came in at No. 2 in this week’s poll, followed closely by No. 3 Westfield (6-1) and No. 4 Lawrence North (7-0). Cathedral jumped two spots to No. 5 after its win over Center Grove.

Concord (7-0) is ranked No. 1 on its own in Class 5A after sharing the top spot last week with Merrillville, which is now No. 2. The four No. 1s in the other classes — New Palestine (4A), Evansville Memorial (3A), Lafayette Central Catholic (2A) and North Judson (A) — all remained at No. 1 in their respective classes.
