Kind of a rough week in the rankings. Thornton, H-F, Oak Park and Hales were all kicked out. They are all talented teams and will probably return quickly, but Conant, Fenwick, Jacobs and Morgan Park all deserve recognition for fabulous Thanksgiving weeks.

Loyola, from 8 to 5: Ramblers have dominated so far at Mundelein.

Hillcrest, from 16 to 6: Had the best week of any team in the state,
beating H-F and Bloom.

Joseph.

points to Peoria Richwoods in overtime.

Leo, from 25 to 29: Beat H-F, Sandburg and Bowen. Lost to Bloom.
