Video: Top 10 Games of the WeekThere is a full slate of critical playoff matchups from coast to coast in the latest MaxPreps Top 10 Games of the Week.
Three teams included in the latest MaxPreps Xcellent 25 National Football Rankings presented by the Army National Guard appear in this week's preview. Included is No. 12 Male (Louisville, Ky.), which needs to beat Trinity (Louisville) for the second time this season to stay unbeaten and is chasing its first state title since 2000. To say the least, beating Trinity in the postseason has been a difficult assignment. The Shamrocks own 11 of the last 14 Kentucky large-school state crowns.
Meanwhile, win or lose, No. 18 DeMatha's season will come to an end following Sunday night's Washington Catholic Athletic Conference championship game against Our Lady of Good Counsel. It's the 10th time in the 12 years the teams have met for the WCAC postseason title.
