Eight of the 10 positions in the Ohio High School Hockey Coach’s Poll remained unchanged this week with two teams flipping spots.
The Olentangy Orange Pioneers (12-4-0) jumped up from #10 last week to #6, changing positions with the Talawanda Brave (12-3-2).
The top teams positions remained the same: #1 St. Edward (18-2-1), #2 Toledo St. Francis (16-3-1), #3 Gilmour Academy (10-6-2), #4 Saint Ignatius (11-7-2) and #5 Sylvania Northview (9-6-2).
St. Edward received eight of the nine first-place votes cast, with the other going to St. Francis.
University School stays at #7 with a record of 8-11-1, but the Preppers have played a very challenging schedule and are 5-2-1 over their last eight games. Seven of their 11 losses have come to teams ahead of them in the rankings.
Upper Arlington (9-11-0) comes in at #8 and has a losing record as well, but eight of 11 losses for the Golden Bears have come against ranked opponents.
Olentangy Liberty (8-11-2) rounds out the poll at #9.
Findlay, Mentor, Archbishop Moeller, Rocky River and St. Charles also received votes this week but landed outside the Top 10.
