USA TODAY Sports Super 25 high school football rankings
Mater Dei (Calif.) added another week to the consecutive streak atop the USA TODAY Sports Super 25, with the Monarchs improving to 9-0 on the season after a 52-7 win over Santa Margarita (Calif.).
On the other side of the country, Central (Fla.) provided plenty of dramatics, holding off a second-half surge by Columbus (Fla.) to remain at No. 3. And Chaminade-Madonna’s dismantling of Avant Garde Academy (Fla.) earned the Lions the No. 9 spot this week.
Outside looking in, Guyer’s decisive in-state win over Texas power Allen moved them up a spot. The 49-7 victory was only the second loss of the year for the Eagles, the first coming at the hands of No. 5 St. John Bosco (Calif.), 52-14.
