Crop comments: The top three remain the same. If North Olmsted would have beat Lorain, it would have flip-flopped rankings. … Keystone climbs as it is the second team in the area to reach seven victories. … Olmsted Falls drops after losing two in a row. … North Ridgeville surges as it has won three of its past four games … Vermilion drops from the rankings after losing two in a row.
