The teams remain the same, but there was plenty of movement in this week's Xcellent 25 National Football Rankings presented by the Army National Guard.

Making the jump to No. 12 is Cedar Hill, which dominated rival DeSoto, 26-2. The two-time defending state champions appear poised to make a run at a three-peat.

Georgia's Grayson also enjoyed a boost in the rankings, rising just behind Cedar Hill to No. 13. The team's defense has been stellar and the offense continues to put up points. It could meet No. 5 Colquitt County in the Class AAAAA playoffs.



Two teams seemingly destined to meet are No. 2 St. John Bosco and No. 3 Centennial. Both teams continue to dominate opponents. Their potential meeting in December would be among the most highly anticipated games in recent history
