Eagle’s Landing Christian, the No. 1 Class A Private team, last week defeated Woodward Academy, a top-10 Class 5A school. Does ELCA have a claim as having the best private-school team in the state? Maybe so. According to the Maxwell Ratings, the Chargers are second-best to three-time Class 4A champion Blessed Trinity, which like Woodward moved up into 5A this season.
