Corner Canyon of Utah, Milton of Georgia on the rise after big early-season victories.
Corner Canyon (Draper, Utah) is on the rise in the media composite top 25 high school football rankings, seeing its average improve from 24.2 to 7.8 after a 35-34 victory over
IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) last week. The Chargers are ranked among the top 20 by all six media outlets included in the rankings, moving them into a tie for the No. 5 spot in the composite with oddly enough, IMG Academy.
It's tough not to look ahead to Sept. 6 when
Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas, Nev.) goes on the road to take on top-ranked
Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.). Five of six media outlets have the Monarchs ranked No. 1 while National HSFB has the Gorman in the top spot.
The composite rankings incorporate computer algorithms by CalPreps and High School Football America along with expert rankings like the MaxPreps Top 25, SB Live, Blue Star Media, SC Next and National HSFB.
To be considered for the media composite top 25 a team must be included in the rankings by two or more media outlets. 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.
