American Fork is the new No. 1 in the Class 6A RPI rankings after it routed former No. 1 Lehi in Week 6, 62-28, while the top spots in the other classifications remain unchanged.

Box Elder (5A), Sky View (4A), Richfield (3A), San Juan (2A), Duchesne (1A) and Rich (1A 8-player) stayed at No. 1 in their respective classifications.

The UHSAA uses the RPI rankings to seed the state tournament after the regular season concludes in Week 10.

While there wasn’t much change at the top in the seven classifications, there was still notable change throughout many of the classifications.
