Video: Top 25 high school football rankings Mater Dei remains No. 1 after East Coast win over St. John's.
Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) trailed at half for the first time last week in a cross-country game against St. John's (Washington, D.C.). Not to worry, however, as the Monarchs stormed back with an impressive second-half showing riding the rifle right arm of Alabama commit
Bryce Young. He
struck with three touchdowns passes in the first six minutes of the
second half to key a
hard-earned 53-24 win over the battle-tested Cadets.
The consensus No. 1 in the top 25 Composite Rankings begin Trinity League play on Friday with an Oct. 25 showdown looming against Composite No. 2 St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.)
Corner Canyon (Draper, Utah) was the lone newcomer to the Top 25 after its 21-17 win over Lone Peak (Highland, Utah).
Only schools recognized by two or more media outlets are eligible for
inclusion in the composite rankings. Teams were assigned a score of 40
for each media outlet that did not recognize them as part of their Top
25, rewarding teams that received consensus acclaim.
