Video: Top 25 high school football rankings Mater Dei, St. John Bosco remain 1-2 as Oct. 25 showdown looms.
There was only slight shuffling in the MaxPreps Composite Top 25 high school football rankings this week, though a showdown between No. 3 IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) and No. 5 St. Frances Academy (Baltimore) on Friday should ensure changes next week.
The Ascenders are 7-0 this year, while the Panthers' lone loss is to No. 1 Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.). IMG is riding an 11-game win streak with its last loss coming to the Monarchs in 2018. St. Frances had pitched four shutouts this season and are allowing just over 6 points per game in its six victories.
New to the Composite Top 25 are Carroll (Southlake, Texas), Our Lady of Good Counsel (Olney, Md.) and Chandler (Ariz.)
The Dragons are 6-0 and beat Lake Travis (Austin, Texas) 26-25 last week in the Battle of the Lakes. Good Counsel is 6-1 — the Falcons' lone loss is to No. 2 St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.) — and beat Gonzaga 42-35. The Wolves handled Arizona power Brophy Prep (Phoenix) 49-0 and have a plus-304 point differential this season.
Only schools recognized by two or more media outlets are eligible for
inclusion in the composite rankings. 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.
