The Northern Lakes Conference is well represented this week in the Associated Press high school football polls.

Undefeated Concord has moved into the top spot statewide in the Class 5-A poll. The Minutemen, who have won four straight NLC championships, improved to 4-0 on the season with a 44-21 home win over Wawasee last Friday night. That victory, coupled with previous No. 1 Fort Wayne Snider’s loss to Penn on Saturday, vaulted coach Tim Dawson’s team into the No. 1 spot.

Plymouth, which is also 4-0 after a huge NLC win at Northridge last week, is No. 8 in the Class 4-A poll. Also receiving votes in the 4-A poll are NLC schools NorthWood and Northridge.

Carmel holds down the top spot in Class 6-A this week. Penn checks in at No. 4.

Concord headlines the Class 5-A poll while Mishawaka is at No. 9. Columbus East (4-A), Andrean (3-A), Evansville Mater Dei (2-A) and Tri-Central (1-A) are the other No. 1 teams.

South Bend St. Joseph is No. 7 in 4-A, while Jimtown is receiving votes in 3-A. Winamac is ranked No. 2 in 1-A.

Concord leads the NLC standings at 3-0. Plymouth is second at 2-0, followed by NorthWood, Northridge and Warsaw all at 1-1. Elkhart Memorial is 1-2, with Wawasee and Goshen both at 0-2.

Concord hosts Goshen this Friday night in league play. Other NLC action has Warsaw at Northridge, NorthWood at Wawasee and Memorial at Plymouth.
