Euless Trinity (Texas), which began the season #23 and climbed to #5 thanks to a season-opening win over then #1 De La Salle (California), is knocking on the Top 25 door as the Trojans move-up to #26 this week. A win this weekend by De La Salle over current #1 Corona Centennial in the California Open Division Championship could help the Trojans find their way back into the Top 25 when we release our final national rankings next Sunday.
Mallard Creek, which began the season ranked #7, is up to #27 this week after winning its third straight North Carolina Class 4AA state championship over the weekend.
Florida 8A champ Flanagan is at #28 this week, two notches below where it began in our preseason poll.
Pittsburgh Central Catholic, which will play #47 Parkland for Pennsylvania’s Class 4A title this weekend, moves-up four spots to #29. The Vikings were ranked #22 in our preseason rankings.
