Mike Warfield has only been back on the Aliquippa sideline for a short time, but already he has the storied program in a familiar spot:

Number 1.

For the first time this season, the Quips are the top-ranked team in Class 4A in the weekly Post-Gazette rankings. They are also the third team to occupy the top spot after McKeesport, the preseason No. 1, and defending-champion Thomas Jefferson dropped early non-conference games.

While there was a change at the top of Class 4A, the other six No. 1s, including in the City League, all won and stayed at the top of the heap.

Here are the complete rankings for the WPIAL, City League and the state:
