This week’s high school football IndyStar Super 25 has one new entry and plenty of shuffling elsewhere. Here is a look at the Week 9 rankings, which considers teams from all classes across the state:
1: Brownsburg (8-0): Records are falling all over the place in the Brownsburg record books.

16: Merrillville (7-1): The Pirates won their fifth consecutive game with a 41-20 victory over Lake Central – a game that was surprisingly just 14-7 at halftime. Merrillville closes at 4-4 Chesterton. Previous: 15.
17: Decatur Central (7-1): Ezekiel Hester passed for 210 yards and three TDs and ran for 92 yards and another score in a 62-24 win over Perry Meridian. The Hawks close the regular season at Franklin. Previous: 18.

24: Avon (5-3): The Orioles have dropped two in a row after a 33-13 loss to Zionsville going into the final regular season game at Noblesville. Declan Hines passed for 172 yards and two TDs and ran for 99 yards in the loss. Previous: 17.
25: South Putnam (8-0): Yes, South Putnam is a 2A program. But the Eagles have been so impressive – scoring 55.5 points per game and allowing just 5.0 – that I’m putting them into the Super 25. South Putnam closes the regular season at Cloverdale before a massive sectional game at Cascade next week. Previous: NR.
Dropped out: Franklin Central (25)
