In Week 1, we saw many of the state’s top teams start out on the right foot. And even in defeat, Cardinal Gibbons stood toe-to-toe with the new 4A No. 1 team. Are they on a collision course for a state final rematch?

Dudley, Reidsville and Tarboro round out the other top-ranked teams across the other classifications.

Here are the full top-10 rankings:
