Only one High School Football America Top 25 team lost this past weekend, which shuffles the bottom of our national rankings that are created with our proprietary algorithm.  Former #24 Mallard Creek (North Carolina) was beaten by Vance, which dropped the three-time state champs out of the Top 50 and also affected South Pointe‘s (South Carolina) strength of schedule.

All of the changes this week, come between #20 and #25 where American Heritage (Plantation, Florida) moves-up one spot to #20.  DeSoto (Texas) is the biggest mover this week by climbing from #23 to #21.  South Pointe dropped two spots to #22, while Cibolo Steele (Texas) falls one to #23. Clinton (Mississippi) from #25 to #24.

Cass Tech from Michigan is this week’s new addition to the National Top 25.

Looking ahead to this weekend, the big game will be in Southern California where #3 Mater Dei will take-on #6 St. John Bosco in what in essence is the Trinity League championship game.
