For the second week in a row, defending national champ Mater Dei (California) strengthened it spot at the top of the High School Football America 300, powered by NFL Play Football.
MD beat former No. 17 Corona Centennial (California) 43-20 last Friday. The win came on the heels of the Monarchs’ 24-21 come-from-behind win over No. 13 Bishop Gorman two weeks ago.
Mater Dei is a heavy-favorite to win its next three games. It’s expected that the Monarchs will be 6-0 heading into its October 7 showdown against No. 2 St. John Bosco (California).
As far as the latest rankings created with HSFA’s proprietary algorithm, the top fifteen teams hold their spots from last week.
No. 3 Buford (Georgia) is definitely in the national championship chase after its third straight win over a nationally-ranked team. Last week, the Wolves knocked-off North Cobb 21-14. That dropped the Warriors from No. 20 to No. 21 in the last rankings.
There are two new teams in the Top 25.
Miami’s Northwestern enters at No. 24. This week, the Bulls will test that ranking against No. 10 Chaminade-Madonna (Florida).
Chandler breaks into the Top 25 at No. 25 after cruising by former No. 89 Cathedral Catholic (San Diego, California) 63-7.
Overall, the HSFA 100 welcomes eight new teams this week:
- No. 66 Montgomery Bell Academy (Tennessee)
- No. 83 Trinity (Kentucky)
- No. 93 Arlington Martin (Texas)
- No. 96 Santa Margarita (California)
- No. 97 Loyola Academy (Illinois)
- No. 98 Westfield (Texas)
- No. 99 Cedar Grove (Georgia)
- No. 100 Maryville (Tennessee)
