Westminster (Atlanta) and Community School of Naples (Naples, Fla.) will go toe-to-toe in the first matchup at 6 a.m. (EST). Westminster is the reigning Georgia Class 3A state champion. But the Wildcats are surprisingly trying to grab their first win of the year after back-to-back losses to quality opponents. The schedule doesn't get any easier against a tough, undefeated Seahawks bunch. The Wildcats will need to neutralize senior dual-threat quarterback Cooper Weiss, who recorded 184 passing yards, 117 rushing yards and four total touchdowns in the win over St. Stephen's last week.

The second game between Blessed Trinity (Roswell, Ga.) and St. Peter's Prep (Jersey City, N.J.) should be a doozy at 9 a.m. (EST). Blessed Trinity was a Georgia Class 3A runner-up last season and is looking to go 3-0. Sophomore running back Steele Chambers will be a load to handle and has already racked up 234 rushing yards, averaged 117 rushing yards a game with four touchdowns. But the Marauders are seeking to open the season with a bang.

Marist (Atlanta) and Belen Jesuit (Miami) will close out the spectacular slate at noon (EST). The War Eagles reached the Georgia Class 4A state quarterfinals last season and are hungry for their first victory (0-1). Belen Jesuit looks to open the year with a win.
