Centennial (Peoria, Ariz.) joins the Top 25 after shutting out Florida power St. Thomas Aquinas.

Zidane Thomas, a 2018 Boise State commit, had a big night rushing for 113 yards and his 56-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter iced the game for the Coyotes. Penalties were a huge factor, too. The Raiders ended the night with 13 penalties for 130 yards.
