It was an exciting final week of the Indiana high school football regular season with two Top 10 teams suffering losses, while the Plainfield Red Pride jump into the poll at No. 18 with a win over previously undefeated Martinsville.

Then No. 20 Hamilton Southeastern, which had struggled against ranked teams, reversed that trend with a 30-23 victory over then No. 2 and undefeated Brownsville, while then No. 5 Warren Central climbed up a notch after defeating No. 7 Cathedral, 34-28, in a thriller.
