espnW 25 Power Rankings: Week 4

Year:
Week:

No. 1 Bishop McNamara added the Title IX classic trophy to its resume. No. 3. Miami Country Day added the Naples Holiday Shootout title to its haul. And No. 2 Africentric posted a perfect 10.

The top of the espnW 25 Power Rankings remained the same for Week 4, but there was a mad shuffle in the middle and end.

There's plenty to look forward to now that we've turned the calendar to 2019, starting with a matchup of No. 4 Windward and No. 10 Centennial on Saturday.
