McDonogh's 21-14 loss to Mount St. Joseph cost the Eagles nine spots in this week's ESPN High School Maryland football media poll, but most of the other local teams moved up a notch or so.
The Eagles dropped from No. 9 to No. 18. While the Gaels did not get into the poll, they received votes for the first time this season.
The area's top three teams, No. 2 Gilman, No. 4 Calvert Hall and No. 7 Old Mill, stayed put, but Atholton, Dunbar, Poly and Catonsville moved up. Arundel lost a spot and Archbishop Spalding jumped in at No. 25.
