What's going on in Class AA?
Scarsdale got a little more rest last week but moved up in the lohud Section 1 rankings along with Arlington compliments of a Yonkers win over Mamaroneck, which had been the hottest team in the league. New Rochelle got back into the top 10, as well, off a comeback win over North Rockland.
The playoffs begin in two weeks and there's likely to be more drama.
