Teams that are in High School Football America’s The Other 25 presented by Krossover are hoping for big performances this weekend, which could them a graduate to our National Top 25 when our new rankings are released on Sunday.  Let’s take a look at who has the best shot at making the leap over the next week or so.

#26 Jenks would seem to have the best champ as the Trojans have back-to-back big games.  Jenks will play defending Class 6A_II champ Bixby on Friday and then on September 9th, the Trojans play their annual Backyard Bowl against crosstown rival Union, which is currently ranked #38 in the nation.

In Kentucky, the Trinity Shamrocks have a similar scenario to Jenks.  #27 Trinity is on the road this week to play Lafayette (2-0), last season’s Class 6A runner-up.  That is followed by a game against Male, the defending 6A champs, who finished #11 in the nation last year.  Male is off to an a 2-0 even though it lost almost all of its starters from last year’s championship team.  Trinity is coming-off back-to-back wins against Tennessee-powers Brentwood Academy and Ensworth.  Brentwood is ranked #44 this week.

In Florida, #32 American Heritage (Plantation, Florida) can also make a huge move if it beats #18 Don Bosco Prep (New Jersey).  Speaking of Florida, #42 Cocoa can continue its drive for the Top 25.  After beating former #25 Trinity Christian Academy (Jacksonville, Florida) on Sunday, Cocoa travels to #2 Bishop Gorman (Nevada) on Friday on a very short week for the Tigers.

In Texas, former Top 25’er Lake Travis is hoping to make a push back to the Top 25 when it faces #8 Cibolo Steele.

In Ohio, #48 Archbishop Hoban, the state’s defending Division III champ, faces #23 St. Edward, the two-time defending Division I champs.

Below is the rest of this weekend’s The Other 25 schedule.
