Mater Dei, the No. 1 team in the High School Football America 100, continues to prove it’s worthy of the ranking that is powered by NFL Play Football. Saturday night, the Monarchs beat arch-rival Servite 46-37, which gives the school at least a share of the Trinity League title. MD can win the league championship outright next week when it closes-out the regular season against JSerra.
