Don't look now, but here come the Dragons.
De La Salle, Calif., regained the No. 1 spot in the MaxPreps/National Guard National Top 100 this week, but Southlake Carroll, Texas, jumped 25 spots to slide into the No. 2 position after a 56-7 win over Colleyville Heritage Friday.
The Dragons finished at the top of the 2005 rankings and were No. 2 in 2004. Head coach Todd Dodge's program is 68-1 since 2002, including a current streak of 37-straight wins.
De La Salle's repossession of No. 1 came on the strength of a 35-28 win over Southern California power Mission Viejo Saturday.
Rounding out the top five is Warren Central, Ind., Euless Trinity, Texas, and last week's No. 1, Oaks Christian, Calif.
