MaxPreps Top 10 High School Football Games of the Week

American Heritage (Delray Beach, Fla.) at University (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.)

This second-round playoff showdown is a rematch of last year's state quarterfinal game won by American Heritage, 31-20. The Stallions went on to capture the Class 3A championship. This year, the teams enter the game undefeated and ranked No. 1 and 2 in the latest state sportswriters poll. The winner will be considered the clear-cut favorite to run the table to a state title.

University tops the list in our Small Schools National Rankings

University, ranked ninth in the latest MaxPreps Xcellent 25, has played only two games in the last month. The Suns (9-0) appeared to show some rust in their round-one game against Cardinal Newman (West Palm Beach) last week, leading just 7-0 at halftime before pulling away with a 27-0 victory. On the bright side, it was the sixth time in seven games University held an opponent without a touchdown. Jordan Scarlett – one of the nation's most talented sophomore running backs – keyed an otherwise sluggish offensive performance with 186 rushing yards and two touchdowns, according to the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel.

American Heritage improved to 11-0 for the regular season with a 30-14 win against Chaminade-Madonna (Hollywood). Greg Bryant, the No. 31 recruit in MaxPreps' Top 100 list for the Class of 2013, had 116 rushing yards and a 21-yard touchdown catch to lead American Heritage, according to the Sun-Sentinel. The Stallions now have a 22-game winning streak despite their loss in a nationally televised preseason game versus state-ranked Cocoa on Aug. 25 that did not count in the win-loss column.
