MaxPreps Top 25 national high school football rankings

21. (6) Curtis (River Ridge, La.), 2-1
Curtis' loss to Aquinas was mostly a testament to how strong Aquinas looks this year. Curtis has upcoming games against St. Augustine and Karr, which should give a good indicator of how it stacks up against Louisiana's best this year. Story

22. (24) De La Salle (Concord, Calif.), 3-0
In a much stronger performance, De La Salle defeated St. Mary's (Stockton) after struggling against Serra in Week 2.

23. (25) Ensworth (Nashville, Tenn.), 3-0
Ensworth has scored 55 or more points in two straight weeks following a 56-3 win over Pope John Paul II.

24. (NR) Manatee (Bradenton, Fla.), 3-0
Manatee has three solid wins on its resume, having beaten Gilman, Venice and Friendship Collegiate. It is young and could be significantly better by season's end.

25. (NR) Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.), 3-0
The landscape of SoCal looks much different than it did just weeks ago. Mater Dei, with three decisive victories, now has people thinking in Orange County that it could be among the area's best.

Dropped out:
Centennial (Corona, Calif.)
Serra (Gardena, Calif.)
