Ligonier Valley and Saltsburg still sit close to the top of the PIAA District 6 football rankings after big wins on Friday.

The unbeaten Rams (8-0), who clinched a fourth consecutive Heritage Conference championship a week ago, rolled over Northern Cambria, 42-7.

Marion Center (6-2) picked up a win and stayed in fifth place.

In Class A, Saltsburg (6-2) moved up again. The Trojans are tied for third with Juniata Valley following their win against Class 2A West Shamokin.
