The Corner Canyon Chargers are now one win away from tying Duchesne’s all-time state record in consecutive wins. So it’s no surprise that they keep the top spot in the rankings.
Meanwhile, some long winning streaks got three teams in the rankings this week. Orem, Layton and Olympus are left off this week to account for the newcomers.
