Mater Dei (California) is in complete control of its own destiny and a possible fifth High School Football America national title since 2017. Friday night, the No. 1 ranked Monarchs dominated No. 2 Bishop Gorman (Nevada) 31-15 to solidify its grip on the top spot in the High School Football America 300 national high school football rankings, powered by NFL Play Football.
However, before Mater Dei can lock-up another “nati,” the Monarchs will have to navigate a brutal schedule that features seven-regular season games against teams that are all highly-ranked in the HSFA 300.
Of course, most fans are focusing on the October 25 showdown with arch-rival St. John Bosco (California). The Braves move from No. 3 to No. 2 in the latest rankings created with our proprietary algorithm.
Gorman drops one notch in the latest rankings to No. 3. The Gaels will try to rebound this week when they face Orange Lutheran (California), which soars 24 spots to No. 10 this week after beating No. 11 St. Frances Academy (Maryland) 15-13.
