Bishop Guertin broke Bedford's winning streak and took this week's No. 1 spot.

For the first time this season, the Bishop Guertin High School boys lacrosse team is in the top spot in the state rankings.

The Cardinals ended Bedford's 72-game winning streak last Thursday and jumped over the Bulldogs for the No. 1 spot. Bedford fell to No. 2 and was followed by two other Division I teams in Pinkerton and Londonderry, both of which had big weeks last week. Goffstown, still undefeated in Division II, rounds out the top five.

Here’s a look at the top 15 boys lacrosse teams in the state, along with rankings for each division.

### Here’s how the rankings were done

A year ago, we used Maine’s [Heal Point System](http://www.mpa.cc/interscholastic-division/heal-point-system.html?ref=nh-highschoolsports.com) to ranking teams throughout the state, but that process is a long one to figure out. This year, we took the NHIAA’s football rating system, and gave it a little tweak. Instead of 10 points for a win, we weighted the wins by division, giving 12 for a win over a D1 team, 10 for a win over D2, and eight for a win over D3\. Plus, every team got two points for a win by a beaten opponent. The two point totals were added together and divided by the number of games played.
