As we near midseason, every race for a football regional playoff berth remains up in the air, of course, but some teams are asserting themselves and others are falling a bit too far behind.

Seven Baltimore-area teams hold top spots after four weeks of competition:

Poly in Class 4A North
Arundel in Class 4A East
Aberdeen in Class 3A North
Hammond in Class 3A East
Edmondson in Class 2A North
Overlea in Class 1A North
Dunbar in Class 1A South

Poly, Arundel, Aberdeen, Hammond and Overlea are undefeated. Poly and Arundel are both three-quarters of a point ahead of two other unbeaten teams -- Catonsville and Old Mill, respectively.

Glenelg (2A South) and Fallston (2A East) also have been edged out at the top for the time being, despite their unbeaten starts.
