All of the shuffling is at the bottom of the poll where Bergen Catholic, which hits the road to Ohio this weekend to play #21 St. Edward, falls to #24. Both St. Ed and America Heritage (Plantation, Florida) jumped three spots. Male (Kentucky), which has outscored its opponents 255-26 climbs one spot to #20.
The only new entrant is Byrnes from South Carolina, which was ranked #30 in last week’s The Other 25, at #25. In two weeks, the Rebels, who earlier this year beat preseason #7 Mallard Creek (North Carolina), will face #23 Spartanburg.
Speaking of The Other 25, we release teams #26 through #50 Monday morning. Also on Monday, we release our regional rankings. Our media compilation poll is released on Wednesday.
