Video: Xcellent 25 high school football rankingsSee where Miami Central and St. John's landed in their jump into the Xcellent 25.Miami Central was playing for much more than just a win this past weekend against the 2016 National Champs,
Bishop Gorman, they were playing for all of South Florida. They had the perfect formula — give the ball to
James Cook.
The No. 3 running back in the Class of 2018 finished the night with 199 yards rushing and two touchdowns in a 24-20 win. The Rockets were the biggest movers in this week's Xcellent 25 National High School Football Rankings presented by the Army National Guard.
Watch the video above to see where they landed. Bingham flexed its muscle against Hawaii power
Kahuku in a 17-0 win in the inaugural Polynesian Football Classic in Las Vegas. It was the first time since 2008 the Red Raiders were shutout and the offense was stagnant all night without their star sophomore quarterback
Sol-Jay Maiava.
St. Joseph's Prep won its 16th consecutive game with an impressive 28-21 win against previously ranked
St. Peter's Prep. The defense and special teams were huge, and
Marquez McCray threw two touchdown passes and sophomore running back
Kolbe Burrell rushed for 114 yards and a score.
St. John's bounced back strong after blowing a double-digit, second-half lead to
De La Salle a week ago. The Cadets cruised to a 42-25 win over New Jersey power
St. Joseph Regional, and were among six new teams to join this week's rankings.
Watch the video above to see who the other new teams are to join the Top 25.
