There’s no change at the top of the latest High School Football America California Top 25, powered by NFL Play Football. Preseason No. 1 Mater Dei’s 17-7 win Friday night before a packed house in Santa Ana keeps the Monarchs a solid No. 1. Bosco stays at No. 2 and has fans dreaming of a Part II in the CIF-Southern Section playoffs.
The Monarchs win also kept the team No. 1 in the High School Football America national rankings. Bosco slipped from No. 2 to No. 5 in America.
