As expected, Brownsburg jumped a spot to No. 1 after its win over previously top-ranked Westfield on Saturday in the latest USA TODAY Network Indiana state high school football poll.
Brownsburg (6-0) is No. 1 for the first time this season, followed by No. 2 Warren Central (6-0). Westfield (5-1) is now tied for third with Crown Point (6-0) in Class 6A.
There is also a new No. 1 in Class 5A — actually two new No. 1s. Concord (6-0) and Merrillville (5-1) are tied for first in 5A after previous No. 1 Plainfield dropped a 42-21 game to Decatur Central on Saturday. The Quakers dropped to No. 4. New Palestine (4A), Evansville Memorial (3A), Lafayette Central Catholic (2A) and North Judson (A) remained in the top spot in the other four classes.
