As we roll into the stretch run of the regular season, things have settled down a bit in the weekly power rankings in Week 6 after a topsy-turvy Week 5.

There were no dropouts in the Trib 10 from last week with the lone loss coming in a Class 5A Allegheny Six Conference clash of ranked teams as Bethel Park handed Upper St. Clair its first loss of the season, dropping the Panthers from No. 4 to No. 7.

There is another big head-to-head showdown in Week 7 as No. 3 McKeesport hosts No. 5 Gateway in a 4A vs. 5A nonconference battle of old Quad-East rivals.

Meanwhile, Aliquippa is now three wins away from going coast-to-coast as the top teams in the HSSN power rankings in the regular season. Of course, the Quips still have a Class 4A Parkway Conference showdown looming in Week 9 against No. 2 Central Valley.
