Mater Dei remains No. 1 after a perfect regular season.

While Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) is a clear cut No. 1, there is bunching behind the Monarchs.

The Bryce Young-led Monarchs have a week off before heading into the Southern Section postseason and a first-round matchup with Bishop Amat (La Puente, Calif.)

St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.) and St. Frances Academy (Baltimore) sit behind Mater Dei in a tie for second. Both the Braves and Panthers fell to the Monarchs in the regular season, but DJ Uiagalelei and SJB might get another shot at Mater Dei in the postseason.

Texas power Duncanville and Florida's St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) are tied for fourth in the Composite rankings as Lone Star State and Sunshine State playoffs are set to take shape.

Mallard Creek (Charlotte, N.C.) and St. Joseph's Prep (Philadelphia) are the two newcomers to the Composite Rankings.
