CINCINNATI -- With just two weeks left in the regular season, the action is intensifying on the high school gridiron as Tri-State area teams jockey for playoff positioning. Here's a look at TriStateFootball.com's latest team rankings, which show some interesting story lines developing as the calendar nears November.
Ohio Division I
