Each of the six NCAA high school football teams this past week stepped outside of conference play for action and most did not fare very well as only Southeast of Saline was able to earn a victory as the conference combined for a 1-5 record this past week.
Ellsworth suffered its first loss of the season, which propels the Southeast of Saline Trojans to the top of the NCAA standings by themselves as they are the only NCAA team, after six weeks of the regular season that remains undefeated on the season.
This week will be the same situation in the NCAA as all six teams will play non-conference foes.
