Well, it is league championship week here in Mass. with most of the leagues already having their league championship, and quite a few holding them tomorrow. Not really much in the way of surprises this week, so don't expect much change. Team (Last Weeks Ranking)... * = Outside top ten last week 1. Methuen (1)- They maintain the top spot after defeating Lowell last week and not really doing anything this week. Merrimack Valley Conf. championship is tomorrow though, and Lowell will be looking for revenge. 2. Mansfield (2)- The defending champs ran away with the Hockomock Conf. championship, so they maintain their second place spot. 3. Lowell (3)- See Methuen I guess... they will be looking for revenge at MVCs tommorrow, should be another good one. 4. Brookline (4)- They should be able to win the Bay State Conference tommorrow. Until then, they maintain their spot. 5. Marshfield (5)- Sigh, what a boring week at the top. Same deal, just maintaining after a boring week. 6. Westboro (9)- Westboro moves up after winning the Mid Wach B conference, beating out former #6 Nashoba in a close one (31-39). It has been a crazy year in Central Mass, and this win for Westboro just adds to it. 7. Newton North (7)- They also maintain their spot after a relatively boring week outside CMASS. 8. Shrewsbury (10)- They win the Mid Wach A Conference, beating out a very strong Wachusett squad. This team has been all over the board this year, but if they keep running like they did at Mid Wach A, they should move up. 9. Wachusett (*)- They finally get back in the top ten after just narrowly losing to Shrewsbury at their conference meet. Better times than Nashoba, so they get ninth. 10. Nashoba (6)- Tough luck for Nashoba, losing to Westboro and not with particularly impressive times. I still think they are really good, though, perhaps they just had a bad race. Outside the Top 10
