THE SWAMI SCALE
- CARROLL: Might be missing a guy or two this week, but it shouldn’t matter vs. the ‘Rop.

- EAST NOBLE: As predicted, EN beat South Side last week by 38 points to save NE8 face.
- GARRETT: The Railroaders head to Death Valley tonight, hoping to improve to 11-0 vs. TV.
- LEO: The rematch is upon us as playoff- and NE8-rival East Noble invades Leo-Cedarville.
- HOMESTEAD: Sparty hosting a HSE team that just upset Brownsburg two weeks ago.
- ADAMS CENTRAL: The Jets are eager to prove that they belong on the 2A landscape.
- HUNTINGTON NORTH: HN scored a school-record 77 points last week over the Glizzies.
- BISHOP DWENGER: The Saints crushed Columbia City 38-zip; next up, the fast Generals.
- WEST NOBLE: WN is lurking in the weeds, waiting for that rematch against the G-men.
