The Cougar Sports Network has announced the release of a weekly Power Ranking for the high school football teams that play in the PIAA District 2. The rankings will be released every Sunday night until the end of the season.
The Power Rankings are based on a statistical formula that takes wins, losses, strength of schedule and point differential into account as well as school classification, home field advantage and initial adjustments based on 2008 results and 2009 expectations.
Abington Heights comes in at the No. 1 spot for the second straight week followed by Wallenpaupack, Scranton, Berwick and Old Forge. The top 20 are posted weekly at VVCougars.com and complete rankings are available upon request from CSN. Dunmore, Hazleton, North Pocono, Hanover and GAR round up the Top 10 going into Week 3.
Publishing of the rankings is permitted as long as credit is given to CSN.
