As the calendar gets ready to change to September, there isn’t any change at the top of the top of the High School Football America 300, powered by NFL Play Football.
The top five teams in HSFA’s preseason national rankings remain in their position after impressive wins over some nationally-ranked powers.

Reigning national champ Mater Dei (California) is No. 1 after a 24-21 come-from-behind win over No. 13 Bishop Gorman in Las Vegas, Nevada. This week the Monarchs will be challenged with another tough road contest against No. 17 Corona Centennial (California).
No. 2 St. John Bosco picked-up huge win in Texas over three-time HSFA national champ (2012-2014) Allen. The game was never in-doubt as the Braves routed the Eagles 52-14.
Buford (Georgia) is off to a 2-0 start that includes an impressive 38-7 win over preseason No. 17 Thompson (Alabama) in a battle between three-time defending state champs from neighboring states. This week, the Wolves will challenge No. 20 North Cobb (Georgia).
No. 4 St. Frances Academy (Maryland) received a scare this weekend at the NFL Alumni Academy Freedom Bowl in Canton, Ohio, home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The Panthers edged No. 66 East St. Louis 20-13. This weekend, SFA travels to Texas to play No. 16 Desoto.
DeSoto will bring a 1-0 record into the game after opening its season in the Nike Kickoff Classic, sponsored by the NFL, at Nike World Headquarters in Oregon. The Eagles beat St. Augustine (Louisiana) 35-10.
Another head-to-head Top 25 battle this week will be in Arizona, where No. 5 Bergen Catholic (New Jersey) faces No. 21 Saguaro. Both teams won state titles in 2021.
There are two new teams in the Top 25 from HSFA’s preseason rankings.
Lipscomb Academy (Tennessee), coached by former NFL Super Bowl MVP quarterback Trent Dilfer, sits at No. 22 this week, up seven spots from its preseason ranking.
Dilfer’s squad has beaten preseason No. 65 Milton (Georgia) and three-time defending champ Thompson, which fell from No. 17 to No. 80 after an 0-2 start.
Also new to the Top 25 this week is Ohio’s Archbishop Moeller at No. 23.
