Video: Top 25 high school football rankingsMater Dei remains at No. 1 with in-state win over Corona Centennial.
With Texas kicking off action for the 2019 season, things will start getting interesting. Last week, the Composite Nos. 1 and 2 teams, Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) and St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.), respectively, took care of business in their openers. The Monarchs began 2019 with a
42-12 win over Corona Centennial (Corona, Calif.), while
DJ Uiagalelei threw for 300-plus yards in a
35-7 win over DMV power DeMatha (Hyattsville, Md.).
This week's Composite No. 3s — there's a tie — both showed out last week. St Frances Academy (Baltimore) proved it will be a force all season with a
49-13 blowout win over Florida power Central (Miami). Meanwhile, St. John's (Washington, D.C.) rode the
"Baby Bus" — 275-pound running back
Antwain Littleton — to a 48-0 victory over Southridge (Miami).
This week's games to keep an eye on include Thursday's Texas kickoff heavyweight battle between Katy (Texas) and North Shore, the 2018 MaxPreps National Champions.
Note: This week's composite rankings don't include PrepNation and the Sporting News, which didn't have updated rankings this week.
