Unbeaten JSerra Catholic (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) continues to hold down the No. 1 spot in the MaxPreps Top 25 high school flag football rankings this week but there is plenty of movement elsewhere.

Newport Harbor (Newport Beach) rises to No. 3 after going 3-0 last week and upping its record to 8-1 against one of the toughest schedules in California.

Etiwanda (Calif.) joined the top 10 last week and is now No. 5 after a 7-0 start. Quarterbacks Cassandra Vazquez and Valerie Del Toro have thrown for 13 touchdowns and more than 1,100 yards.

Junior Peyton Marr has stepped into the role of last year's MaxPreps National Player of the Year Ariana Akey and helped Mountain Vista (Highlands Ranch, Colo.) climb to No. 6 after a 2-0 start. Marr has thrown for nearly 500 yards and eight touchdowns already.

Orange Lutheran (Orange, Calif.) jumps to No. 8 with its only loss coming to JSerra Catholic on Aug. 15. Willowbrook (Villa Park, Ill.) has emerged as the top team from Illinois after a 5-0 start as senior Janell Adams leads the team in rushing, flag pulls and sacks. Previously-unranked Western Christian (Upland, Calif.) climbs to No. 10 after a 9-1 behind a proficient passing attack with quarterback Maliyah Estrada and Bailey Osborne leading the charge.
