Conwell-Egan retains the top spot in our bi-weekly small-school rankings, while Bristol jumps into the second spot.

Both teams, not surprisingly, are headed to the district playoffs.

In fact, three of our top five will have their seasons continue in the postseason.

Note: Our small-school rankings are drawn from PIAA Class 4A programs and lower.

Take a look.

1. Conwell-Egan (6-4)

The Eagles head to the Philadelphia Catholic League Class 3A championship game after blanking Archbishop Carroll 29-0 last Friday.

Conwell-Egan will face 8-1 Neumann-Goretti, which has won eight straight games and has not lost against a Pennsylvania team this season (the Saints' lone loss came against Ohio power Elder on Opening Night).

Neumann-Goretti, which reached the PIAA title game a year ago, defeated the Eagles 28-14 in Week 8.

The game is scheduled for Sunday (11:30 a.m.) at the South Philly Supersite.

2. Bristol (6-3)

The Warriors have been a point machine all season, averaging nearly 37 points an outing, and they head to the PIAA District One Class 2A championship game after outscoring their last five opponents by a combined 252-22 count.

Last Friday, they crunched Jenkintown 63-0. They'll host 4-5 New Hope-Solebury for the title on Friday.

3. Germantown Academy (5-3)

After starting the season with five straight wins, the Patriots have struggled in Inter-Academic League play, losing their first three league games.

The losing skid has dropped Germantown Academy from second to third in our rankings.

The Patriots will try and right things with another tough game at 7-1 Malvern Prep on Friday.
