The best way to characterize this past weekend in the Top 25 is…blowouts…pretty much across the board. The 16 of the 24 Top 25 teams that played, won by 30 points or more with #1 Bishop Gorman (Nevada), #6 St. John Bosco (California) and #8 Grayson (Georgia) scoring 70 points each in their respective victories.

The top eighteen teams held their spots in the latest rankings, created with our proprietary algorithm.

Lake Travis (Texas), coming-off its impressive win over former #44 Westlake (Texas), vaults three spots from #22 to #19 in the new rankings.

New to this week’s Top 25 is Clinton (Mississippi).  The Arrows graduate from The Other 25, moving-up two spots from #27 to #25.
