Corner Canyon (Draper, Utah) cruised to its 41st consecutive win beating Farmington 72-21, the lone team in the MaxPreps Top 25 high school football rankings in action this week. Four-star USC commit
Devin Brown shined in his Chargers debut, completing 18-of-22 passes for 451 yards and eight touchdowns in the opening half. The Utah power is eight wins away from breaking Duchesne's state record of 48 consecutive wins.
Eight more MaxPreps Top 25 teams get started this week headlined by a clash between No. 3 St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.) and No. 15 Central (Miami) at Panish Family Stadium in Southern California. Another marquee game features No. 12 Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) hosting St. Louis (Honolulu). The Gaels were limited to two games last spring and this will be the Crusaders first contest in 608 days.
No. 5 Thompson (Alabaster, Ala.) opens Aug. 20 with Oxford and this might be the Warriors most talented team as they push for a third consecutive 7A state title in 2021.
No. 7 Grayson (Loganville, Ga.), No. 10 Collins Hill (Suwanee, Ga.), No. 17 Center Grove (Greenwood, Ind.) and No. 22 St. Xavier (Cincinnati) also all get started this week.
No. 1 Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) was scheduled to play Centennial (Corona, Calif.) on Aug. 20 but was canceled because of COVID-related health and safety protocols. These two along with Damien (La Verne, Calif.) will now take part in a three-team scrimmage as the Huskies don't have enough practice days logged.
No. 20 Servite (Anaheim, Calif.) also had its Aug. 20 game against Bishop Amat (La Puente, Calif.) pushed back to Sept. 9 and are looking for an opponent to play this week, otherwise the Friars will open their season on Aug. 26 against Mission Viejo (Calif.).
