Five weeks to go until the 2023 High School Football America national champ is crowned. 13 weeks into the season, St. John Bosco (California) continues its march to a possible second straight national championship.
Bosco (10-1) still sits at No. 1 the latest rankings, powered by NFL Play Football, after beating No. 103 San Clemente to advance to the CIF-Southern Section Division 1 semifinals. This week the Braves will host No. 20 Corona Centennial (9-2) for the right to play for the division championship. On the other side of the bracket, No. 2 Mater Dei (10-1) will host No. 13 Sierra Canyon (11-0).
If Bosco and Mater Dei win this weekend, they will meet at the famed Los Angeles Coliseum for the right to play for a trip to the California State Football Open Division championship. A 3-0 run by either team, will likely result in a national title. Since 2017, Mater Dei and Bosco have won five of the latest six HSFA national titles.
No. 3 Bishop Gorman (Nevada) is still in the national championship hunt. November 21, Gorman will face No. 173 Liberty for the Class 5A Division I championship at Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders. The Gaels are looking for their 13th state title in the last 14 years.
Gorman’s best shot at the national crown is if Corona Centennial wins the CIF-SS Division 1 championship. Gorman beat the Huskies 56-28 on September 8.
No. 4 Chaminade-Madonna (Florida) also needs some help. The Lions (10-0) are expected to cruise in this weekend’s Class 1M opener. In the second round, the Lions will meet the winner of the game between No. 206 Cardinal Newman and No. 217 Benjamin. On the other side of the bracket are three teams ranked in the HSFA 300 — No. 113 Clearwater Central Catholic, No. 236 Trinity Christian Academy (Jacksonville) and No. 297 Carrollwood Day.
No. 5 IMG Academy (Florida), the 2020 HSFA national champ, is a long shot. The undefeated Ascenders (8-0) need to beat No. 41 St. Frances Academy (Maryland) this weekend, plus get a lot of help.
The Top 300 welcomes ten new teams this week:
- No. 277 Watauga (North Carolina)
- No. 278 Malvern Prep (Pennsylvania)
- No. 280 Pearland (Texas)
- No. 282 Murrieta Valley (California)
- No. 283 Rockhurst (Missouri)
- No. 286 Klein Collins (Texas)
- No. 287 Liberty North (Missouri)
- No. 289 Hilliard Bradley (Ohio)
- No. 291 York (Illinois)
- No. 293 Ballard (Kentucky)
