Week 8 High School Football Rankings: Where is Shaker Heights?

The Ohio High School Athletic Association ranks the top 12 teams in each division and each region across the state.

SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH - Shaker Heights pulled out a tough win on Saturday, inching by Brunswick by a score of 39-34. The team will return to action on Friday against Medina. Despite winning, Shaker Heights actually moved down one spot, to eleventh, in the OHSAA polls.

The top five teams in the region remain the same this week, despite Massillon Jackson taking its first defeat of the season. The big movement occurred just outside the top five, with Cleveland Heights jumping from the ninth spot to the sixth. Heights was aided by the massive tumble of Canton GlenOak, which lost another game moving them to 4 and 3 on the season.

Another surprise in the top 12 is Mentor, despite holding a losing record, moving up to ninth spot.
