Top-ranked Monarchs face perennial Florida powerhouse No. 10 St. Thomas Aquinas, MaxPreps Game of the Week features No. 14 Mission Viejo vs. No. 16 Santa Margarita.
Mater Dei-St. Thomas Aquinas headlines three MaxPreps Top 25 matchups this week.
No. 4
Grayson (Loganville, Ga.) opened its season with a dominant 51-3 win over Collins Hill (Suwanee) in our initial MaxPreps Game of the Week. The defending AAAAAA state champs were without their top three defenders in
Tyler Atkinson,
Lawrence Brown and
Anthony Davis but that unit still dominated. North Carolina-bound quarterback
Travis Burgess put on a show accounting for over 200 yards of total offense and four touchdowns.
In another Georgia showdown, No. 13
Buford took down
Milton 20-13 to open its new $62 million stadium. The defense forced three interceptions in the second half with the biggest being a pick-six by
Silas Nuckles to give the Wolves a 17-7 lead in the third quarter.
No. 19
Corner Canyon (Draper, Utah) cruised to a 45-0 win over Bingham (South Jordan) in its season opener.
Helaman Casuga completed 13 of 18 passes for 284 yards and two touchdowns. His favorite target was
Kai Meza, who hauled in six receptions for 145 yards and a score.
