For the second straight week, there is little change in the High School Football America 100 powered by the NFL Play Football. Fifty-nine of the teams held their previous week’s positions in the latest rankings that are created with HSFA’s proprietary algorithm.

With the postseason underway in every state except Arizona, Connecticut and Hawaii, the road to a national championship is officially underway.

In California, top-ranked Mater Dei begins its drive for its a third High School Football America national championship in five years Friday when it plays No. 119 Norco in the opening round of the CIF-Southern Section Division 1 playoffs. Looming in the second round for the Monarchs is the winner of the game between No. 24 Corona Centennial and No. 95 Mission Viejo.

On the other side of the bracket, No. 3 St. John Bosco plays No. 87 Los Alamitos. The winner of SJB/Los Al game gets the winner of the other quarterfinal game between No. 19 Servite and No. 121 Santa Margarita.

The playoffs begin in Texas this week. No. 2 Westlake will be looking for its third straight state championship.

Westlake brings a 34-game win streak into the postseason. The Chaparrals, who are the Class 6A Division II bracket, open the playoffs against Hutto.

Many are looking forward to a possible state semifinal showdown between the Chaps and No. 7 Katy.

Florida also begins the postseason this weekend with its regional quarterfinal matchups.

Arizona will wrap-up the regular season this weekend with a showdown between No. 11 Chandler and No. 16 Hamilton. The 29th meeting between the two Phoenix-area neighbors may be the first of two meetings between the two over the next month.

Chandler, the five-time defending state champs, have won nine straight against their rivals, including two wins last year. Chandler won the Open Division championship last year with a 23-21 over Hamilton.

Dropping-out of the Top 100 into honorable mention status is Brother Martin of Louisiana. The No. 56 Crusaders, who were 8-0, have been forced to forfeit their first five wins for using an ineligible player.
