Girls Lacrosse Rankings: Five new teams join this week's statewide top 25

Despite only a few games being played last week, the HighSchoolOT girls lacrosse rankings are getting perhaps the biggest overhaul of the season to date.

Five new teams enter this week's rankings: Middle Creek, Willow Spring, Fuquay-Varina, Durham Academy, and Charlotte Christian. They enter at spots 21-25, replacing last week's 21-25 teams of West Forsyth, Asheville School, Northwest Guilford, Cannon School, and Forsyth Country Day.
